VAQUERO BEEF FAJITAS
This is a wonderful rendition of grilled beef popularized by Mexician cowboys working on cattle ranchs both side of the rio, who were paid in cheap cuts of meat - skirt steak. Use flank steak if you don't want the hassle of removing tough membrane from the skirt steak. This fajita recipe is not for people who like beef well-done, as it will toughen with prolonged cooking.

SLOW COOKER FAJITAS
"I love fajitas like they serve in Mexican restaurants, but when I prepared them at home, the meat was always chewy," explains Katie Urso of Seneca, Illinois. "Then I tried this recipe in my slow cooker, and my husband and I savored every last bite. Fresh cilantro gives these fajitas the extra punch that makes them taste truly authentic."
