To make Chicken or Beef Fajitas… Thinly slice the meat and cook to the desired doneness in a saucepan with a bit of EVOO. Sprinkle Seasoning on meat and stir to coat evenly. Add 1/4 cup Chicken/Beef stock or water to deglaze the pan. This will make a thin sauce. In a separate bowl, mix 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch to 1/4 cup Beef/Chicken Stock or water. Mix thoroughly to make a light slurry, then add to the meat. Simmer until the mixture reaches the desired thickness.
