Reviews
I loved it! The flavors were great. I only made it with Chicken because I forgot to buy steak for it. Also I used red peppers. I will definitely make this again.
I have made this recipe many times. We love it so much that we eat it about once every two weeks. It's worth all the chopping to taste something this fresh and delicious. It makes my husband like eating his veggies, which is a rare thing indeed.
This was pretty easy to make and very good. My husband enjoyed it too!
Pineapple? Brown sugar? NEVER in fajitas!
I've been making this recipe for a few years. To make it even faster, I use canned pineapple chunks. Also, instead of frying the tortillas, we actually roll it up in tortillas. Its a little saucy, but so good!
I agree--pineapple and soy sauce don't belong. The real trick in getting true fajita taste is to add 1/2 teaspoon of ground chipolte chile. It ads a nice "smokey" flavor. Spice Islands makes it and can be found in local grocery stores. I mix my own fajita mix and keep it handy because it's a fast dinner and can be made with chicken, beef or just black beans.
I thought this looked good until I read the ingredients. No way would I put pineapple in there. Yuck. I love pineapple and I love fajitas but they are not two tastes that belong together!!!
I made this for my boyfriend and I about a week ago and wow. The pineapple gives this recipe a nice little kick. I used a NY York strip steak in mine and this was great. I will definitely be making this one again, my bf loved it, said it was the best thing I've made. I recommend this to everyone, it's sooo easy. I can hardly cook and I can make it.
I really enjoyed this but next time I will leave out the pineapple, as my husband and kids didn't like the fruit in it. They would perfer it served on the side. I did make the "fried tortillas" and thoughtheir addition was a nice change of pace
I didnt didnt fry the tortillas. I also did not add chicken or the pineapple. It turned out really yummy anyway!
