I always order carne guisada, rice and refried beans. Very bad for me, but very good.

Depends on where you are at, but if you are in Rack's neighborhood, you had better get it right!

I think this whole Fajitas debate has been taken the wrong way. As far as original terms go-it's skirt steak. There is no arguing that. Restaurants and others have now taken that term to make it into a dish as well. I don't think Rack is arguing that the Fajitas term has now been thrown onto menus worldwide referring to a dish but if you are talking about where the term came from-it is NOT a dish.

To be honest, I usually get better New Mexican food at home. My wife is an excellent cook and she really enjoys doing it right when she has the time to cook.
I like lots of things but my favorite is good old Enchiladas. I like them flat, as opposed to rolled myself.
My wife makes the Red Chili. She soaks the pods, then blends them up and cooks them. She cooks up a pot of beans, usually earlier in the week, then you take those beans and you fry them up, just a little bit in bacon grease or Spicy Sausage grease, add a little bit of milk to thichen them up just a bit (not too much. Don't want refritos), then you fry up the corn Tortillas, fry up spicy sausage and ground chuck, add that to the red chili. Fry up some diced potatos and then get to stacking.
Gotta have Ground Cheese, diced onions and tomatos and shreaded lettuce. Take your fried corn tortillas and add your beans, another tortilla, add your potatos, another tortilla, add your meat, top with another tortilla. I like to fry up an egg with mine but you don't have to. I add an Egg on top of this, smoother with Red Chili and meat, goodly amounts of cheese and add oinions, fresh diced tomatos and shreaded lettuce. Serve with crackers or Sopapias and maybe Sopa De Arroz on the side.
Not very healthy for ya so can't eat them often but man I love em.
On a cold day, I'm with Hos. I like Posole or a better yet, a good Green Chili Stew with a good Hatch Green Chili in it.
