It's like fajita's on steroids - delicious! I had to google images of this to see how its supposed to come together, and I think I got it right. We served these wrapped in flour tortillas - these are fantastic.. your first recipe on zaar is a hit with us - hope you post more.. thanks!

Mil gracias!!! My sister was bugging me that she wanted alambre from this restaurant, but at $15 a plate, I figured I'll make it. I played around with the recipe and kinda figured out what to do as directions aren't very specific, but the end result was yummy!
