Good but needs a few tweaks. DO NOT add the chicken broth. The fajita meat was soupy and had to be drained before serving. I worry that draining it may have drained off some flavor as it was a little bland. Next time I will add hot peppers and more seasoning.

Made a good dinner with cheese enchiladas. We always like fajitas. I added twice as much spices as the recipe called for. Served with sour cream and guacamole. Made for ZWT 5.

Me encanta! Querido by all who ate them. I made this using the Smoked and Spicy salsa from Recipe #372771, grilled the peppers and onion for more smokiness, and a taco shredded cheese mix. Garnished with cilanro and avocado slices. Thanks. Muchas gracias! Made for ZWT5

Fantastico Fajitas! My husband took one bite and mutter 'mmmm, so good'. I think he is loving this texmex part of the ZWT. Amazingly, I was able to find Mexican oregano in my UK supermarket. So, I used that and for the cheese I used a cheddar and Monterey jack blend. We had it with Guacamole and refried beans for one seriously yummy meal. Made for Chow Hounds for ZWT5.
