How To Serve Fajitas
Looking for a delicious and easy way to serve fajitas for a crowd? Look no further! This is one of the best Mexican food buffet ideas. Simply put together a big fajita platter for your guests to share.
There are a few ways that you can make your fajitas. You can use our signature product, Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste, to marinate your meat in prior to cooking. Or you can sprinkle your veggies and meat with Gran Luchito Smoky Chipotle Fajita & Taco Mix inside your hot pan. If you like a nice sauce for fajitas, then Gran Luchito Red Fajita Simmer Sauce is the winner.
Once you have cooked your fajitas, present them on a large platter. Heat up your Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps and present them on a smaller separate plate and cover them with a tea towel to keep warm.
