Thank you for introducing me to marie sharps hot sauces.

[@seanleafgreen135]

Got such an absolute giggle when you said 'chicken-pha-heaters' . The southern boy in me just went 'YUP' . I've learned plenty from watching your videos . Thank you sir !

[@miladalavi1136]

My smiley brother is back at it again! Whenever you’re having a rough day, one of Arnie’s videos makes you smile and hungry ❤

[@mikeelder6298]

Being from Arkansas, I enlisted into the Air Force and was stationed at Lackland AFB in San Antonio and it was there that I was introduced to both brisket and tri-tip, and oh! My gosh! About a year before I left San Antonio a new restaurant opened named Rosa's Cantina and I'd go there most mornings to pick up breakfast for me and several others, and I'd have Carne Guisada. Loved them!

[@johncspine2787]

I played principal horn in San Antonio symphony for 5 years 91-95..everyone had their own favorite restaurant and favorite salsa from maybe even a different restaurant. La Fogata had a great roasted salsa, I forget the bigger restaurant we’d go to for fajitas, but we’d order extra limes and squeeze them over the skillet and all the tables around us would order them..smelling that lime hitting the hot skillet, oh..yeah! Ah..Tomatillo’s restaurant? Maybe that was the name..loved the breakfast tacos at Twin Sisters on New Braunfels..

[@johncspine2787]

Rudy’s BBQ..? Their turkey breast covered w black pepper…sausages, everything..yum!

[@judykeown]

I judge places on their carne guisada. Surprisingly, Bill Miller BBQ has decent carne guisada as well as breakfast tacos. I skip their BBQ.

[@mikeelder6298]

@@judykeown No here in Arkansas knows anything about carne guisada. Can't get it. Not even the Tex Mex restaurants

[@judykeown]

@@mikeelder6298 I’d have to make it at home then.

[@jamesjarrett4030]

Thanks, Arnie! I've fixed these 3 times now and have shared the recipe with others. It's a new favorite! For a low sodium version I marinate overnight in ~1 tsp ea. of: Garlic powder Onion powder Chili powder Cumin Oregano Black pepper 1/4 tsp of salt 2 tbsp olive oil 2 crushed garlic cloves And a few generous shakes of cayenne pepper. 🌶️

[@judykeown]

I remember when I graduated from high school (‘77) in south Texas going to a party and they said they were serving fajitas. I remember asking “What are fajitas?” Never had to ask again. I did laugh the first time I saw chicken “fajitas”.

[@samwayne5765]

Uncle Arnie always comes through! God bless Texas

[@keithdickinson6045]

Wow!! Looks awesome!! It got me thinking....churro dough rolled flat with a few small scoops of fried ice cream rolled up and you've got a fajita dessert!!

[@ackliph]

Tomatoes! I knew it should have tomatoes! 🍅

[@EliInfante]

I got to try this soon! BOOM!

[@dalericketson6461]

Good stuff , I enjoy your channel on south Texas Mexican cooking. I am a life long resident of Alice Texas. I especially like your videos on salsa. chili pequins grow under just about every mesquite here and i love to mix a few chilis with tomato onion garlic and salt. Good on everything. God bless.

[@judykeown]

I grew up in Alice

[@veeewap]

It’s gonna be soo good 🥹🥹

[@dominickruiz1240]

You got me brother.... I am going to the store right now and gonna get everything to make fajitas.... I made a batch of beans yesterday, and I am gonna mash and do the level 3 refried treatment . so refried bean and chesse tacos, fajitas and will make some rice on the side.

[@debbiew2377]

Your recipes look amazing. We love our Mexican food in CA. ❤

[@The_Timinator]

Like do we have a choice? I love Mexican Food too but, there's areas of California that have GREAT stuff, and other areas, that have less than good... I live out in the Palm Springs area now, but I grew up in Orange County (about 2 hrs away) and ALL the people I know, say that OC and LA Mexican food is 10 times better than what we have here...even my 80+ year old Mom says so, it's a sad Day for Mexican Food when an old retired Printer (me) can make Mexican food better than a local Mexican Restaurant.

[@AcidGlow]

That dish is a *masterpiece* 🙂

[@LuisRamirez-nb6sh]

Everything you say I 100% believe I know I won’t be steered wrong with you

[@samo8204]

I love your attitude Arnie!!!

I like combination beef, chicken, and shrimp 💙🥰

[@jeaniecameron295]

That looks amazing!!

Your explanation of the culture and way of speaking an what bbq is and whatnot is the MOST American thing I have seen we are a melting pot I love this! ❤ great food too!

[@sammartinez8084]

Great show and thanks again for the info 👍👍👍👍 and your show is the best 👏👏👏👏👏😋😋😋

[@CJDEM]

Thank you for sharing all of your recipes. I’ve cooked a ton of your recipes! I give your restaurant salsa to all my friends. I’m pretty rural so I get to use the best vegetables out there.

[@frederickhenneke4660]

These videos just keep getting better and better... Now back to cooking fajit-ers tonight for dinner!

[@tipsterbl]

I just bought Flatiron Hatch green chili pepper blend with jalapeño and habanero and plan on using it for chicken fajitas.

[@The_Timinator]

Yeah these are AWESOME, however that Sizzling Serving Platter (Comal) was preheated (like ALL Restaurants do) so that it's still sizzling when served at the table, that's why it's on a Wood Base, otherwise it would burn through the Server's Tray just bringing it to you. "Watch out this is VERY Hot" is what they say every time they set the Comal and Base down in front of you. I DON'T mean to be harsh, I've just known many people that bought a griddle to make Fajitas (it was in fact MY first meal on my Griddle) but everybody wants to know "how do the Restaurants serve these still sizzling?"...well I know.

[@regulartxdude7813]

This is a bit different than what you would see at the restaurants in Houston like Lupe Tortilla or Pappasitos. They use white meat chicken and cut the pieces longer and thinner generally. How do I see your seasoning recipe? Love your channel!

[@ArnieTex]

Thank you here is the link to the seasoning>> tnx>>pitmaster.us

Ejole Arnie...that chicken looks great.God bless you!

[@venicechris]

LOL. Your opening is exactly me! I order something basic like enchiladas, chile relleno, tacos or a burrito.. And while I'm waiting, the damn fajita plate comes rolling by and I always say "Dammit! Why do I always forget about the fajitas?!?"

[@leedoss6905]

Looking good. I'll have mine with habanero and corn tortillas.

[@antoniodiaz6531]

Arnie thanks for showing me how to make chicken fajitas I've enjoyed all your cooking techniques keep cooking Arnie I'm from the the Rio Grande Valley leaved in Edinburg where and when did you have your restaurant what was the name I'm off to make chicken fajitas

Season and fry those skins up, chop them, and add it to the tacos.

[@lolitadiaz0113]

Hey great idea gracias 👊🏼

[@Jason-ms4gb]

You didn't do the water trick! That is how the restaurants make the steam show when they walk it to the table.

[@larrycopenhaver]

do they have your seasoning at granzins in new braunfels?

[@signelengis]

You forgot to marinade. Pineapple, orange, juices.. or I go lazy with the HEB or la Azteca

[@0ZK4R1N9]

Morning

[@allouttabubblegum1984]

I prefer to add a little bit of mild chili powder, comino, honey and once it's done cooking finish it with a little bit of lime juice🎉

[@Happytraveler007]

Ha! My grandad always had a grumble about chicken ‘fajitas’ He grew up in Dewitt county

[@rogermilla2358]

No marinade?

[@ArnieTex]

Not needed, but if you have a favorite go ahead and use it.

[@hophead2342]

Ice cream wrapped in a churro tortilla and wah la- Ice cream fajitas! Works for me!

[@MK-si7kq]

Salt, pepper, garlc powder, onion powder…. Sometimes cumin

[@TheJorgSacul]

I'm surprised she let you get a second bite in before grabbing it from you! :)

I think the best pico de gallo make the best dish even better.

[@ajvot71]

Call it what you want. I’ll bet even hotdogs at Arnie’s house are the best ever! Mmmmm! ❤🌭🌮

[@GiosueMannino]

I'm tired of getting 90% peppers and onions and 10% chicken at mexican restaurants for fajitas

[@eltomas3634]

Riiight. Bidenomics ate all my meat!

[@silvermediastudio]

Gotta throw a pat of butter into the blazing hot comal first, to really get that sizzle-izzle.

[@Wakkajakka]

One good thing about chicken is that it's much more affordable than flank steak. Though if I go to a restaurant and see the two similarly prices I'm always going beef.

[@BackForwardPunch]

What kind of tortillas do you use? I can never find ones that look as fluffy as yours.

[@gregvaughntx]

If we want to get technical (and I do like to do that) maybe we could call them Rajas de Pollo. Plus I'd rather have them with poblanos, which is strongly associated with rajas.

[@meatgravylard]

They're called fajitas, technically. Rajas de pollo is a creme based dish, technically.

[@gregvaughntx]

@@meatgravylard Thanks for making my point for me! My joke was about how people so often mistake the meanings of Spanish words based upon dishes they're used in. Thanks for playing along. Allow me to clarify, you know, for other people that might see this. Yes, the dish named rajas is usually strips of poblano in a cream sauce, but the meaning of the word, rajas, is strips/ribbons referring to the shape of the poblanos. Similarly, the meaning of the word fajitas refers to a specific muscle of a cow.

[@patrickschardt7724]

I almost always get a combo fajita (chicken, steak, shrimp) or at least fajitas usually chicken when I go to a restaurant

[@terrysegovia5972]

Love them chicken fajitas❤❤❤❤

[@IggyVans.1]

Hey Arnie, I love your videos but what I wanted to ask was how do I get a Carne Asada shirt??!!!

[@ArnieTex]

right here>> www.pitmaster.us/

[@daveoldfield7697]

It would be referred to as BBQ in the uk also.

[@GlRTHBR00KS]

We do have ice cream fajitas, they’re called choco tacos! Lol

[@josephcanaday]

Why eat their food when I can eat 5* meals you put on KZbin that I can make.

[@brettwrichardson8182]

Why be a tool bag? Sometimes it’s best to not comment at all

[@josephcanaday]

That don't even make sense

[@rmb1004]

can you tell mi the history of fajitas? it's my project

[@derekk6906]

I love Chicken, especially Fried Chicken but when it comes to Fajitas, it’s always Steak and especially Skirt Steak if I can find it. Skirt Steak isn’t very common up here in Michigan. I just never cared for Chicken in my Tex Mex or Mexican dishes.

[@SicSemperTyrannis-333]

Bruh chicken chimichangas are fire what are you talking about

Verde chicken enchiladas bruh

FAJITERRSSSSS

[@leedoss6905]

Arnie i can't wrap my mind around chicken fajitas. To me they are always beef because of the cut of meat they come from. Bless you and your loved ones from s fellow Texan.

[@mhdz007]

I’ve been at restaurants and noticed that they squirt something on that hot comal to make it sizzle and smoke. What is it that they squirt on their?

Bro, that preliminary sales pitch wore me out. By the time you got done yammering about Kale Salad I was like, “I think I already got a halfway decent fajita game “

[@Geezy62]

[@waynemanning3262]

Isn’t a chicken fajita really just a chicken wrap? Unless you can get a skirt steak from a chick but they would be really small!

[@dalesmth1]

Hey Arnie. If I may ask, what happened to the restaurant?
