Fajitos (Spanish fajitos) is a delicious, hearty, spicy national Mexican dish that can be easily and quickly prepared at home. The main difference between fajitos and quesadillas, burritos and tacos is that the filling is served separately from the tortilla, and everyone chooses for himself how much to put in, how many sauces.

Instructions
Step 1
Cut the meat into thin strips. Fry in a large skillet in vegetable oil until golden brown.
By the way, this dish was invented by cowboys who used meat scraps left after the slaughter of cattle for food. The name "fajitos" comes from the word "strip".
Step 2
Chop the onion into strips, finely chop the garlic. Add to the pan to the meat. Fry for about 5 minutes. Add soy sauce - optional.
Step 3
Cut the tomatoes into small cubes and add to the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Chop red bell peppers and red hot peppers into strips. Add to the pan, simmer for 5 minutes. Red hot peppers can be replaced with adjika or any hot sauce. Salt and pepper. If you added soy sauce, you need to add very little salt or you can do without salt at all.
Step 5
Serve a crusty frying pan stuffed with meat and vegetables on the table. Each is given a tortilla, a thin, soft tortilla made from wheat or corn flour. Sour cream and various hot sauces are also served. Fajitos goes very well with salsa - a tomato sauce with garlic, herbs and spices. You can separately serve grated cheese - better hard, such as parmesan, and sprinkle it on the hot filling.
Step 6
The filling is laid out on the cake, poured over with sauces and wrapped in an envelope.
