Restaurant Style Fajitas
- 4-6 Chicken Breasts
- 13 cups Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, Minced
- 3/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 whole Peppers (One Red And One Green Bell)
- 1 whole Or 2 Whole Onions (cut Into Thin Strips)
- Oil For The Pan
- Flour Tortillas
- Sour Cream (optional, For Topping)
- Cheese (optional, For Topping)
- Pico De Gallo (optional, For Topping)
- Salsa (optional, For Topping)
- Guacamole (optional, For Topping)
- First, cut the chicken (may also use beef) into thin strips.
- Put this into a bowl and set aside for the moment.
- Mix the soy sauce, garlic, pepper and cumin.
- Pour over the chicken strips and stir to coat all the meat as evenly as possible.
- Make sure you do NOT use garlic salt, the soy sauce is very salty already.
- The meat should marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- Longer is ok too, but keep in mind that the soy flavor will become more intense the longer the meat sits in it.
- Next, cut the peppers and onions into thin strips.
- When you are ready to cook use a little oil in you pan and sear the meat in small batches.
- I highly recommend a quality stainless skillet for this because you can sear and deglaze the pan better making a delicious sauce to coat your meat with as you go.
- It is important to cook the meat in small batches, if you crowd your pan you will end up with steamed, rubbery meat.
- We dont want that.
- So, sear the meat strips on both sides.
- When its done on both sides dribble (just a couple drops) a bit more soy sauce around in the pan and add a bit of water also.
- Scrape back and forth releasing the meat from the pan bottom and youll see that a sauce will form.
- Keep stirring while the fluid reduces and starts to coat the meat.
- Set the cooked meat aside in a dish.
- Keep repeating this process until all your meat is cooked.
- After the last batch is done I usually put it all back in for a minute just to bring the temperature back up and recoat all of meat together just before serving.
- Last, saute your pepper and onions slices until tender crisp.
- Fill warm torillas with meat, pepper and onions.
- Add in your preferred sides or condiments and enjoy.
