Vegetables

Mix together.
Tortillas
Layer meat in tortillas. Garnish with favorite fajita toppings including this guacamole and sour cream (cheese and lettuce are good choices too).
I heard Fr. Leo speak in California when I was out there with my mom. A funny man - he credits this winning recipe to all the people praying the rosary during the judging - and a splash of holy water in his cooking! I might have to try these with shrimp or something.
