Dish fajitos - one of the most popular traditional dishes of Mexican cuisine. Mexican fahitos resemble the well-known shaurma (shaverma) in Russia, but the culture of cooking and eating this food is somewhat different. How to cook fachitos, you can tell in a few words. In soft cakes of wheat flour wrapped strips and fried beef meat (sometimes used pork, chicken or even fish), as well as vegetables. Of course, the preparation uses a variety of dry spices, fragrant greens. Acute sauces for fajitos are also needed, usually traditional Mexican sauces: Chile, Salsa, Tabasco or Guacamole.
The process of preparing fachitos is simple, but it requires a certain approach. Meat or chicken (or fish) are cut into strips and fried on a grill (sometimes in oil in a frying pan). Then in the same frying pan fry vegetables, usually onions, sweet and hot peppers, tomatoes and greens. You can also use beans, young corn, zucchini, potatoes. The filling in a hot frying pan or metal dishes is served to the table. Separately serve fresh cakes, sour cream, sauces and greens. Sometimes the contents of the frying pan flambe, that is, they are slightly teased and ignited for a few seconds, but this is not necessary. The filling is flavored with sauces and sour cream, wrapped in flat cakes, and now, the fajitos are ready. Sour cream in some way softens the burning taste of hot pepper.
