Homemade Fajita recipes

I think some people think Fajita recipes can be intimidating, but truthfully they’re just a real fancy taco.  So if you really want to break it down and make it simple in order to do it yourself, all you have to do is pick your favorite meats and vegetables and start cooking!  It’s really that easy!

Fajita recipes and their similarities

Fajita recipes vary with their individual seasonings and preparations but they all have one simple thing in common that has never changed no matter how you decide to prep them; they all end up in a Tortilla! Whether you decide to use steak, shrimp, and fish, chicken or even decide to go vegetarian, as long as something hot and flavorful ends up in that tortilla smothered in goods, you’ve got yourself a fajita.

The reason why I’ve chosen this particular style from other tradition Fajita recipes is because it combines so many different fresh elements from other interpretations of what Fajitas should taste like.  So you really get the best of both worlds.  The prep time is minimal and the costs are low on the ingredients, so what is there really to complain about with this recipe.  In these Fajita recipes anything can be substituted so feel free to use your imagination and enjoy!

In this video I use:

1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 yellow onion
1/2 1lb. bag of bacon (crushed bacon bits)
1/2 cup graded pepper jack cheese
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 pound fresh large white jumbo shrimp
1 bag of pre made mesquite marinade
1 garlic clove
2 tbls butter
2 tbls bacon grease or olive oil
3 thin sliced center round cut steaks

Don’t feel obligated to use everything the way I use ingredients in this video and recipe.  That truly is the beauty in the soul search of finding your own tastes and likes in recipes you want to use or even recreate for your own tastes and needs.  That being said, Feel free to add in anything you feel you’d like to have in these Fajita recipes, including spices or any kind of meat and vegetable substitution.
