Tamales, Campfire Fish Tacos, Grilled Guacamole, now carne asada? Is there a pattern here or is it just innate skills at work? No matter, in between all the burgers, pork steaks and rib eyes, I indulge myself (and my wife) with authentic Mexican cuisine on the grill. I was inspired to make my own when [...]

I did Chicken Fajitas/Quesadillas in the past but I decided to kick them up a bit with some beef in the form of some flank steak, some blackened peppers, and a Caribbean marinade.
This dish has a lot of components to it but once you get the process down it’s just too easy. This is also [...]

Yes, the Grillin Fools realize that everyone knows how to grill a burger. Grillin a burger is something even the most novice backyard BBQer can do with ease.

OK, some will argue that these are quesadillas and not fajitas. They look like quesadillas but the ingredients are all fajita. And you know what they say – it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
