Gretl's Fajitas

'Afternoon!
Looks like we got some friday cookin goin' on. I see gourmet Gfw has his friday ribs a cookin.[p]There was some great ideas the other day about fajitas, but this one caught my eye:[p]Chief,
I use the "thing with the holes" frequently for fajita fixing. Works great. For what it's worth, I cut strips of different color peppers, thick slices of onion, portobello mushrooms (again, thickly sliced) and shrimp and/or chicken. I keep the ingredients separate (at least the vegs separate from the meat), and usually use a quick marinade consisting of crushed garlic, chili powder, olive oil, lime juice, some worcestershire sauce, oregano, and grains of paradise along with salt and pepper. I also give the flour tortillas a few seconds on each side directly on the grill just for fun before filling them. Plenty of fresh cilantro and salsa; some shredded jalapeno cheese, sour cream if you're just this side of heaven. Heck, I'm hungry now and it's only 10:30 a.m.!
Cheers,
Gretl [p]Had an email chat with Gretl earlier, and looks like thats what we be havin for dinner. Gonna be doin just about the same thing, but I might have to throw in some of the new spices I just got from Penzeys![p]have a great weekend.

Gfw,
Those grill-toppers, that are metal, and have slightly sloped edges, to create a huge pan with holes in it. I have a wok style, and a more flat style. Know wum sain??
