Chicken fajitas... using those tricky, non-marbleized (HAHAHA I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS BUT APPARENTLY ITS SCIENCE) chicken breasts, quickly marinaded in tequila, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic and lime juice/rind ... just enough to soak up some of the flavour then BAM into a frying pan, little bit of flambe just for the fuckin' hell of it and to make the wife nervous. Some jumbo tortilla wraps, a dollop of creme fraische ... no home made salsa tonight, too fuckin' tired. Just whammo, wrap it up and chow down. Good food in about 20 minutes.
Wait, what the fuck is this thread about?
your fajitas are close, but not quite on the mark. Lose the soy sauce (what?), add some cumin, paprika and fresh oregano if you have some. Onions too, you need onions, but you can just chuck em raw into the wrap. Wait, did I forget green chili, cos you gotta add that to the marinade as well. Well, you dont have to make em like that, but I like my fajitas spicy.

Actually, fuck that... I use some Mesquite Liquid Smoke if I've got it, because it gives that authentic BBQ'd flavour without resorting to some crappy faked packet flavour (idealistically I'd chargrill it IN THE OPEN AIR LIKE A FUCKIN MAN). I also toss in some fresh chili when I can be bothered - didn't yesterday because the wife's breastmilk when she eats chilis seems to be causing Evelyn some upset. What I didn't add there was that I threw in a whole white onion, green and red capsicums when it was frying in the skillet. As I ALWAYS do with fajitas, and also, I usually make a fiery home made salsa that rocks the house, but was pressed for time yesterday.
Today, for the public holiday, I quickly fried some overflow chicken breast from yesterday (not marinaded) with some onion and garlic, let it carmelise, added a small splash of cream, a few black peppercorns and a handful of grated parmesan. Yummy quick lunch to enjoy in the park in the sunshine for a picnic. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. :) (also had a bottle of wine ftw... a bit drunk today)

You need a big terracotta pot with a catch basin bit, a little wire cooling rack, a small round electric hotplate, and a stick-it-in-the-turkey direct read thermometer. That and a bit of tinfoil / woodchips, and you'll never need "liquid smoke ewww" again.
Scots Taffer on 1/5/2006 at 06:53
Yeah, well, IN LIEU OF ALL THAT FUCKING STUFF I'll use liquid smoke on occasion! (I've only used it a couple of times anyway, hard stuff to get) :D

you dont need no stinking old el paso crap, just get the dry spices (cumin, paprika, chili powder) nice and burnt, also, use beer instead of tequila, gives a much more robust 'malty' flavor (no shit!). I wasnt dissing on your fajitas man, i was just telling you how i make em. i cant forgive you for using soy sauce though. NEVER.
also, I think we need some sort of TTLG IRON CHEF STYLE COOKOFF!!! GBM vs SCOTS vs PIG we will see who rules the fucking kitchen you weak pansies
Scots Taffer on 1/5/2006 at 07:33
Haha, no worries, I wasn't meaning to be overly defensive (YOU CHALLENGE MY FAJITA HONOUR?). I'll try the dried spice mix sometime though, just because it's you.
Anyway, if I used beer, they'd be called PUKITAS. (due to my beer allergy)
AND AHAHAHA, YOU'RE FUCKING ON. >:D
