How to Make Fajitas

Learn How to Make Fajitas with Beryl on Cajun Cooking TV.

A fajita is a common term used in Tex-Mex cooking to describe grilled meat served with a variety of fixings like: sautéed onions, bell pepper, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, guacamole, sliced jalapeno peppers, black olives, shredded lettuce and any other of your favorite toppings.

Many times we’ve had Grilled Chicken Fajitas; however, this night we had a Grilled Pork Tenderloin.  We sliced it thin and tossed around in the sautéed onions and peppers.   They were so tasty and a bit different than your typical restaurant fajitas. So let’s see how to make fajitas…

How to Make Fajitas: What You Need

1 pork tenderloin
1 large sweet onion
1 large red bell pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Prepared guacamole
Salsa or Pico de Gallo
Sour cream
Lime juice
Sliced black olives
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Slices jalapeno peppers
6-10 flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
Salt, Tony’s Creole Seasoning and garlic powder

How to Make Fajitas

Prepare the charcoal grill.

Season the pork tenderloin with sea salt, Tony’s and garlic powder.

Grill the meat for approximately 45 minutes not directly over the heat.

(Have your charcoal on one side of the pit and your meat on the other side.)

For more specifics about grilling meat, please see our Grilling Tips video or How to Grill a Steak video.

Slice onions and bell pepper.

Heat a skillet to medium heat (#6) with melted butter or olive oil.

Saute’ the onions and bell pepper stirring often.  Squeeze or sprinkle on lime juice.

Thinly slice the pork tenderloin.

Heat the flour tortillas according to package directions.  I just heat in a toaster oven on a low toast setting.

Place tortilla on a plate and begin to add all your favorite toppings. Try to keep the fillings to about 1 cup so that it all fits.

Fold one end and then roll like a taco or burrito.  The folded end helps keep the filling from falling out as you eat from the other end.

Serves well with a small salad, black beans or re fried beans, and Spanish rice.
