Fajitas with pork – this recipe for spicy Mexican meals that consists of meat stews with vegetables, chilli and fresh salad. According to tradition, all ingredients are wrapped in a round bread made of unleavened dough made from wheat or corn flour tortilla, which should not be confused with the Spanish tortilla (omelet with vegetables).
In Mexico, the fajita is served to the table separately – meat, chopped vegetables and pellets, and you independently collect its own version of the dish. So guests do not willfully, I collect Tahiti itself, because if the process is not controlled, on the table left a bunch of chopped lettuce and a crumb meat stews.
To assemble the fajitas just before serving, so the cake is not soaked.
