NINFA'S ORIGINAL FAJITAS
This recipe comes from Mama Ninfa. She would give this recipe out to the publications that would ask for it in the late 80s. It is an awesome recipe. It has been suggested that the fruit and fruit juices were an embellishment that was added. I don't know, try it both ways. This, however you look at it, is an awesome Fajita recipe. You can cook these on a grill but for best results, use apple and pecan wood.

SIZZLING TEX-MEX FAJITAS
My family likes garlic, so I dreamed up this delicious marinade for our summer fajita dinners. The marinade needs eight hours to work its magic, but it's even better if the steak marinates overnight. Try it on chicken breasts, too.-Karyn "Kiki" Power, Arlington, Texas
