How do I make authentic fajitas? what spices do they use?

Salt and Pepper.

Your salsa is going to be the place that you bring in spices of pretty much any kind.

You marinate the meat first.

>How do I make authentic fajitas?

Get beef skirt steak. Ideally the inside skirt, but that's usually more costly than the outside. Trim off the fat and remove the membrane. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, ancho chili powder, and lime juice. Leave for at least a few hours.

Fire up your grill, ideally with hardwood charcoal or wood.. Grill the beef directly over very hot coals. Treat it like a steak--the outside should have a good sear, while the inside should still be pink.

Let sit for a couple of minutes (again, just like resting a steak). Then thinly slice against the grain.

Salt and pepper isn't fajitas, idiot. That's a grilled flank steak.

Agreed. And it shouldn't even be flank steak. Skirt steak is a better choice.

>i dont know what im talking about
>Fajitas (or "little belts" in Spanish) originally hail from Mexico, where the term only applies to beef — specifically, the grilled meat that comes from the narrow skirt steak portion of the cow. In the United States, the term's been applied to a plethora of other proteins, from chicken to shrimp and everything in between.

Does it hurt?

What does your post have to do with the fact that merely putting salt and pepper on a piece of meat doesn't make it fajitas?

Methinks you misunderstood >>7922344. Let me reword it for you in retard-mode:

>Just putting salt and pepper on a piece of meat doesn't make it fajitas. It makes it grilled flank steak, not fajitas.

I'm ordering fajitas at this great casual tex-mex place on Saturday. Good working class food. Will report back with findings.

LITTLE BELTS
As in, little belts of meat, little stripes of meat, it is about the way you cut the meat...

What do all images have in common?

Now tell me, does it hurt? are you in constant pain?

OMG AND CHILI COMES FROM THE WORD FOR CHILIS!!!!

Fajitas as a dish is what the OP was asking about. And the carne asada there is always marinated.

You're pedantic and a fucking idiot, a bad combination.

Most of the fajitas I've had from Tex-Mex places have a lot of onion powder

you're supposed to add a bit of cinnamon

Marinate your meat in a generous amount of chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt and pepper.
