Maybe, there are some opinions on this subject that I would find helpful. Here's the scenario...
You stop at a taco stand, and order the beef fajita/tacos that come with onions and cilantro, served on a hot corn tortilla. Here's the dilemma... should you put green salsa on it, or should you put red salsa on it before you eat it? I often lay awake worrying about this sort of thing. Tonight, I went with the green tomatillo salsa..... but I'm not sure I did the right thing. My opinions expressed on this site, in no way represent those of Boonex or Boonex employees. |

Which is just as delicious, if not more so.

Perhaps so...if you happen to have canine ancestry. Getting back to the original post of this thread ... it is often a difficult decision whether or not to put green salsa, or red salsa on your beef fajitas.
Son... living in MA..... do you even know what a beef fajita is?

Son... living in MA..... do you even know what a beef fajita is?
I do too. We do have restaurants here. Not very many good ones.
I love chinese food. Must be a dozen chinese restaurants within a 10-15 mile range of me, and most of them suck.
Ma sucks. We can't even carry our guns around.

Not in New Mexico. In Texas.... usually. The green stuff at this taco stand I stop at occasionally, is not your average green stuff.... it's got some heat.

I generally use both, but if I had to pick one it would be the red mainly because of the color. |
I highly recommend giving this a try:
Tacos Carne
Asada
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank or skirt steak, trimmed of
excess fat
- 1 recipe Mojo, recipe follows
- Olive oil, for coating the grill
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 16 (7-inch) corn tortillas
- Shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce, for
serving *** useless
- Chopped white onion, for serving
- Shredded Jack cheese, for serving ***This has no business being here, if you ask me
- 1/2 cup Pico de Gallo, recipe follows
- 2 limes, cut in wedges for serving
Directions
Lay the flank steak in a large baking dish and pour the mojo over
it. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 8
hours, so the flavors can sink into the meat. Don't marinate the steak
for more than 8 hours though, or the fibers break down too much and the
meat gets mushy.
Preheat an outdoor grill or a ridged grill pan over medium-high
flame (you can also use a broiler). Brush the grates with a little oil
to prevent the meat from sticking. Pull the steak out of the mojo
marinade and season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill
(or broil) the steak for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once, until
medium-rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5
minutes to allow the juices to settle. Thinly slice the steak across the
grain on a diagonal.
Warm the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or
on the grill, until toasty and pliable.
To make the tacos, stack up 2 of the warm tortillas, lay about 4
ounces of beef down the center, and sprinkle with some ***lettuce, onion,
and ***cheese. Top each taco with a spoonful of the Pico de Gallo salsa and
garnish with lime wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Mojo:
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 1 large handful fresh cilantro leaves, finely
chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 orange, juiced
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
In a mortar and pestle or bowl, mash together the garlic,
jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and pepper to make a paste. Put the paste in a
glass jar or plastic container. Add the lime juice, orange juice,
vinegar, and oil. Shake it up really well to combine. Use as a marinade
for chicken or beef or as a table condiment.
Yield: approximately 1 1/4 cups
Pico De Gallo:
- 4 vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
- 1 Serrano chile, minced
- 1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients together. Toss
thoroughly. Let it sit for 15 minutes hour to allow the flavors to
marry.
Yield: 2 cups
