Those aren’t fajitas, its a chicken and pepper burrito.
“Fajitas” literally translates to “skirt steak” but most people associate fajitas with grilled/sauteed peppers and onions with some kind of meat cooked over high heat and served as a taco. The spice mixture you use looks yummy, however, and anyone who uses premixed fajita seasoning shouldn’t be cooking.
You just saved my dinner party tonight. For those who doubt on the pineapple juice I sugest 300cc of beer and 2 tbsp of honey, I didn’t have any pinneaple juice and that worked like a charm.
Instead of dumpping pineapple juice and chicken and poaching both together, remove chicken from marinade, brown in high heat with a bit of butter so it doesn’t get crowded and start sweating. Cook onions and bell pepper together, at high heat. Add a little black pepper, garlic, and ground coriander. If you have a wild hair up your ass, a tiny bit of cocoa powder and/or very finely ground coffee beans.
THEN you can put the pineapple juice in the skillet. Simmer. Reduce. Add chicken. THEN add spice packet.
Do either chicken and rice or chicken and tortilla. Doubling up on starches is for bitches.
Eat with home made salsa. Easy peasy: roast tomatillos in skillet til they brown with whatever spicy Mexican pepper you wanna use. Throw in blender. Add clove or two of garlic, salt, pepper, dash of lime juice, cilandro. Mix. BAM. Mexican green salsa. Orders of magnitude better than store-bought jar garbage.
That is a burrito, not a fajita. Fajitas have no goddamn rice, no pineapple and in Mexico, we don’t steam our tortillas, you just put them in a comal and turn them over.
Perfect! Another home run! Seriously, the way you draw your cartoons is awesome, the subtlety in your drawings is hilarious! I’m definitely featuring this recipe and your blog on a post next week-Thanks again! ;-}
As any mexican will tell you, steaming tortillas is not what you do to tortillas, you heat up a flat iron, throw your tortilla at it and then let it cook, flip, repeat ???? profit.
mad props for flipping it with your fingers without burning yourself.
So. You need to know this. I fu~ AHEM. Freaking love your site, and your recipes. I want more FOOD! I’ve made each and every one of your recipes so far, and I have NEVER been disappointed. Seriously, though. More food.
pineapple ABSOLUTELY belongs in dinner food. and there’s nothing wrong with the order this is presented. its a simple straight forward way to cook a great dinner.
as an American of Mexican descent, I can tell you that most Mexicans use either a comal (flat cast iron grill) or we warm them up directly on the stove top over the fire and flip them with our fingers. These options give the tortillas full flavor, so never ever microwave tortillas, and definitely do not steam your tortillas.
(Example) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCIEXdmjqy0
Love your comic approach to the traditional blog technique. No seriously I LOVE it! I shall steam my tortillas in this fashion from now on although I never did use the icky microwave.
YOU DON’T STEAM TORTILLAS!!! YOU USE A METAL PLATE TO HEAT THE TORTILLAS UP!!! GET THEM TO COOK WELL, WET TORTILLAS AIN’T RIGHT!!! this is sponsored by a fucking mexican who actually lives in Mexico. (not a chicano)
Thank you- The pinapple with the chili reminds me of many great meals at the taco wagon in Colonia Roma in Mexico City and in the city of Guanajuato- usually with pork there to make tacos al pastor. Don’t let the haters bring you down, this meal would pass muster in Mexico.
When are people going to stop correcting these recipes? Seriously, you douche bags need to understand that this is HIS take on the food, not the only way to do it.
Tyler, Keep making these recipes – I love them and your art. Forget the ignorant dwellers.
wth is wrong with steaming, using pineapples, or whatever shit. this is his version of the recipe and he’s doing marvelous job in getting young people to learn cooking, SO STOP bringing him down for god’s sake. sheesh
Ah, don’t let the internet bitching touch ya. Every bit of the internet thinks it has a cherish-able opinion. As for this bit of internet – Nate’s Pineapple Chicken Fajitas would still be “Nate’s Pineapple Chicken Fajitas” even if it was called Nate’s Upside Down Purple Potato Salad. Steam it, burn it, grill it, fart it… Darling Mexico and it’s darling inhabitants really don’t give a damn about what’s done to heat up your personal tortillas~ And pineapples are always delicious.
Hmm. If I leave out the peppers and toned down the spicyness(a travesty, I agree. But we do what we must), I MIGHT be able to get the picky child to eat this. Will have to give it a shot.
If you really want your measure-bot to explode, you should heat up your tortillas in a pan, that’s just to increase a 10% your “man-points”, but if you’re really a man, you should heat ‘em up directly from the fire.
WHO ACTUALLY CARES WHAT ITS CALLED… You guys are pathetic, get a life… This looks amazing, so I made it, and it tasted amazing! Keep up the wicked job dude! Your posts the best!
i don’t get why everyone is pointing out that this isn’t a fajita…that is the …or not part as well the crossed out fajita and written in Burrito part..
Tyler writing his recipes in this format is so totally, completely, epically, cool. No, cooler than that. So cool, when he breaths hard, Al Gore bitches about Global COOLING.
I loved 2AM chili, and just found your blog. Good luck on the book.
I think this sounds amazing. I have already tried the “2am chili” and the “teriyaki burger”. Even better than the recipes, I really enjoy reading your recipes. Keep up the great work!
Not that I’m a man at all, I’m a girl I work with a bunch of them though, in a kitchen actually recipe sounds good but i would strongly suggest that the chicken actually be cooked… onions whatever eat them raw, cook your chicken.
good, simple to do and very funny. who the fuck cares that you need to print out 17 pages of recipe! who the fuck does that?!? grab a fucking pen and paper and write the basics. judgmental and lazy and self-important. mexican in mexico; why you gotta hate? and everyone else masturbating to your egos on this dudes site- what have you done on your kick ass recipe (or whatever) website this month? and that banana/reeses pieces ice cream shit was awesome!
Dude! Nice! You can try heating the tortillas directly on the fire, flipping them every 4 seconds on high heat (LIKE A BOSS) don’t burn yourself though. They’ll start puffing up and they’ll get a little crispy too
This is the stupidest fucking website I’ve ever seen… This is like cooking for retards who hate food. Shameful, and the comic aspect is childish and ridiculous.
oh and I tried this with a couple pinches of crushed red pepper powder, which was a super good decision (my personal opinion) added just a bit more kick and tasted more like that So Cal mexican food that I love oh so much.
Geez, so many technicalities. I suppose I’ll contribute though. Chicken fajita burrito? Sounds about right. I do prefer my tortillas on an open flame or even just turned over on a skillet. This does seem delicious. Will be trying it soon.
WELL DONE! I’m always leery of chicken getting cooked until it’s dry & tough. The pineapple juice worked perfectly to tenderize the chicken. I threw in a few of the pineapple pieces and added some beans. Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!
We heat our tortillas using an Emmet “Doc” Brown approved nuclear reactor. I might be trying this recipe for the week, I want to re-start cooking my own meals to take to the office (’cause the food from the company cafeteria sucks).
Keep it going! Also, if you get published…are you going to try for a kindle (or whatever, just no paper) version? I’ll definitively buy it.
Also if ANYONE(this word sounds strikingly close to “anoying”, mmm…) wonders what fajita means: Strips or rectangle-shaped pieces of meat. Usually grilled red meat or chicken…OH MY I HAVE WRITTEN TOO MUCH! BYE!
Hey, loved the imaging concept. However,could not see…getting old…the kinds of spices you used for your wonderful cooking experience. Maybe you might want to do a formal list of measurements and ingredients at the end of the illustrations for those of us who are totally annal. I never thought of pineapple but it sounds like a great idea and you’ve inspired me to make this the next time I cook Mexican. Also, the double starch thing has to go…rice aaannnnddd flour tortilla…not a good idea unless you’re training and need the carbs! Also agree with the poster who suggested to cook chicken first, then spices, then juice. Remember the juice is to marinate not to cook with generally….so adding a few pineapple pieces and a few Tbls of pineapple juice would be wonderful!!!
Made it and it was a little too spicy for the family. Tasted great and then BAM, cayenne pepper just hit you out of nowhere. Definitely doing it again but with a little less cayenne. Thanks!
I swear to God, I cook using these recipes, and people think I’m some kind of cooking virtuoso. Thanks for the ideas! With a few modifications, I make them my own, and now I even impress the co-workers, and family. On point.
Excuse me! Real mean don’t use pineapple on mexican food or pizza! You have no room to diss anybody that heats up tortillas in a microwave! Do not let this happen again!
If people don’t agree with the the recipe THE AUTHOR HAS CREATED Shut the F*** up and get off this recipe and move on to the next. OR get some gumption and start your own website. Nuff said.
Now that I am finished with my rant on ignorant hurtful people, Ahem… I am so eager to try this but I am SOOO allergic to bell peppers its not even funny. So I am trying to figure out if it will taste the same. I have tried almost all of your other recipes with AMAZING results! Thank you for keeping this going. I have been a fan since 2 AM Chili was just out.
And yes I do have speakers in my kitchen!
Keep up the great work!
Sounds amazing, and the tortilla steamer idea is a good one. However, real men heat their tortillas directly over the fire of a burner- I’m inclined to think a steamed tortilla is tastier, provided it doesn’t get soggy, but let’s be fair, fire is infinitely manlier than steam.
I made these yesterday, delicious! I was worried about all the spice, it seemed like a lot but it turned out to be the exact right amount. I would make it exactly the way it is shown, easily the best burrito I’ve ever had!
My brothers and I made this last night, and we had a few additions:
one: marinating the chicken in the pineapple juice overnight would be delicious.
Two: make sure to leave some pineapple chunks in the juice with the chicken, it’s delicious in the burrito.
Three: We kind of steamed the tortilla’s in the microwave by putting a bowl with a slightly smaller circumference than the tortilla’s in the microwave, with a bit of water in it, then put the tortilla on top of the bowl, and heated it for 30-40 seconds, they tasted great.
Four: we added extra flour, and a bit of corn starch to the sauce so it would thicken up a bit.
And five, the biggest one: let the final product sit for a short while before eating! The sauce congeals and is absolutely delicious.
I don’t care if you call it spaghetti or okonomiyaki, saying ‘fajita’ will produce the same results, provided you follow the recipe–which is awesome. I think I will make everything on this website forever. P.S. Log Cabin rox sox!
eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww steamed tortilla! no way man thats what white pple do to great tortillas, flip the pan around and put directly over fire. place tortilla on the hot pan. after ten seconds flip over do this twice thats called a cooked tortilla…
I almost started crying when I tasted the pineapples, so fucking good. Like many others, I’ll buy the book as soon as it comes out! By the way, I love you
Sounds wonderful — definitely going to try it! BTW, chopped up pineapple in rice is a mighty tasty thing. Cook the rice in water with a bit of pineapple juice, and it’s a great accompaniment for teriyaki-marinated meats. It’d probably be mighty fine here as well. Should I even mention the heavenly taste of grilled pineapple? Nah, I’ll leave that for later…
Just read some of the anal tortilla-griddling-purist posts, giggling, and now my eyes are completely wonky from that stripey pattern to the left and right on your page. You’d think I’d know how to minimize a browser window, but I really don’t, apparently…
Anyhow, I just wanted to say: love your postscript!
Pretty sure he introduced an easy method of steaming because people tend to just throw their tortillas in the microwave to warm them up when serving easy taco stuff or whatever. Honestly it doesn’t matter as long as the food is enjoyed, so don’t be a hater he makes recipes fun to read and easy to follow. So much win! Keep up the good work!
So much fun reading your recipe; very creative site. And I like how comprehensive everything is, what with the list at the bottom for extra clarity. Looking forward to making this recipe some special night! Thank you! Keep it up!
Hey man, I made this dish for Cinco de Mayo, it was… awesome! Totally making this again. You’ve got to publish your book dude, I’ll buy that sh*t in a heartbeat!
My whole life I have never been anything resembling a cook beyond the world of ramen and frozen burritos. This site has changed that; the food always looks so delicious, and the tone of the writing and the photos and illustrations make it look so easy to do that I just couldn’t help but start trying it. I’ve been cooking bomb dinners once a week for three weeks now, and there’s always enough left over to keep me fed for a while. I’m saving money, learning a new skill, and eating delectable dishes made with my own hands. Thanks! And MOAR PLZ!!!1
Why is everyone so butt hurt? IT’S A FAJITA BURRITO. Who gives a shit if he puts rice in his, maybe he thought it was better that way? GET OFF his nutsack, & enjoy life you nitpickin assholes.
So, that Shock Top, is that just for the chef’s benefit or did you skip a step where it was used? Either way, this looks tasty. I’m about to whip up a steak version of this for lunch, and I can’t friggin wait
I love this recipe so much. As a college student this was great. I made this a few times each semester. It was pretty cheap, tasted great and lasted me awhile. I could make it on Monday and it would last me till Wednesday, dinner and lunch. Thank you so much for posting this.
me and my girlfriend made these last night. we added our own rice (boil in the bag) just to make it more burrito than fajita!! it was the best thing we have ever made in the kitchen, better than nandos!!!
Make your own torillas. Your mind will be blown.
Combine 2 cups flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1/4 cup butter, crumbling with your fingers until the mixture is fine and even. Add 1/2 cup water and combine. Knead 2 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap for about 30 minutes. Divide into 6-8 pieces. Roll out thin. Toss one on a hot, ungreased skillet. Wait for it to puff (about 20-30 seconds), flip over for another 20 seconds. Done. Continue with the rest. Bad ass tortillas. Carry on, gentlemen.
As a guy who lives in the United States (it’s one of those two countries slightly north of Mexico; also slightly north of Mexico is where this recipe is being made) I don’t give so much as one fuck – nay, one half of one fuck! – how Mexicans prepare their tortillas in Mexico, or in any other country.
I like steamed tortillas. They’re not “wet” unless you are incapable of steaming things without soaking them in water. I don’t feel like burning my damn fingers on no upside-down skillet on the stove or setting my corn-meal burrito-diaper ablaze trying to scorch it on a damn open flame, either. Steaming makes the tortillas hot and flexible. Good enough for me.
This was my second meal I made from this website. Oh my goodness it is so good! I really love how easy the recipe is to follow. Please make more, i keep looking every day for more new ones! THANKS AGAIN!!!
February 4th, 2012 at 7:08 pm
Thank you for posting another recipe
February 4th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
Looks more like a burrito, but I accept.
February 4th, 2012 at 8:09 pm
Not sure about the whole “pineapple” thing but I think I’ll try it. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Thanks for the recipe!
February 4th, 2012 at 8:09 pm
Delicious!
February 4th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Hmmm I don’t really do chicken because it weirds me right the hell out, but the rest looks delicious. PERHAPS I will accept this challenge.
February 4th, 2012 at 10:42 pm
this site is amazing
February 4th, 2012 at 11:32 pm
I agree that this looks more like a burrito than a fajita, but technicalities aside, this recipe sounds amazing.
February 4th, 2012 at 11:45 pm
This looks great, can’t wait to try it!
February 5th, 2012 at 7:03 am
Thank you, just thank you…
February 5th, 2012 at 7:06 am
You “steam” your tortillas? Isn’t that cute. Be a man and put them on the open flame -30 seconds on each side!
And if you wanna be technical – that’s a chicken burrito. Looks like a tasty burrito though. lol
February 5th, 2012 at 11:03 am
Where’s the book?
February 5th, 2012 at 11:14 am
“Shake it”! %-)
Priceless!
February 5th, 2012 at 1:43 pm
So do you add the actual pineapple chunks, or are you just using the juice?
February 5th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Those aren’t fajitas, its a chicken and pepper burrito.
“Fajitas” literally translates to “skirt steak” but most people associate fajitas with grilled/sauteed peppers and onions with some kind of meat cooked over high heat and served as a taco. The spice mixture you use looks yummy, however, and anyone who uses premixed fajita seasoning shouldn’t be cooking.
February 5th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Ladies and gentlemen, It’s a wrap.
February 5th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Another amazing recipe, I think I’ll make it tonight! Sounds like it’ll hit the spot PERFECTLY!
February 5th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Normally i love you but PINEAPPLE DOES NOT BELONG IN DINNER FOODS!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 5th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
what’s a fajita? it’s just a burrito to me.
February 5th, 2012 at 7:04 pm
Just made this recipe, other than me messing up the burrito wrap on the first shot, it came out delicious!
February 5th, 2012 at 7:09 pm
You just saved my dinner party tonight. For those who doubt on the pineapple juice I sugest 300cc of beer and 2 tbsp of honey, I didn’t have any pinneaple juice and that worked like a charm.
February 5th, 2012 at 7:16 pm
looks like a burrito but i’m gonna try to do this here in brazil
February 5th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Excellent as always!
February 5th, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Instead of dumpping pineapple juice and chicken and poaching both together, remove chicken from marinade, brown in high heat with a bit of butter so it doesn’t get crowded and start sweating. Cook onions and bell pepper together, at high heat. Add a little black pepper, garlic, and ground coriander. If you have a wild hair up your ass, a tiny bit of cocoa powder and/or very finely ground coffee beans.
THEN you can put the pineapple juice in the skillet. Simmer. Reduce. Add chicken. THEN add spice packet.
Do either chicken and rice or chicken and tortilla. Doubling up on starches is for bitches.
Eat with home made salsa. Easy peasy: roast tomatillos in skillet til they brown with whatever spicy Mexican pepper you wanna use. Throw in blender. Add clove or two of garlic, salt, pepper, dash of lime juice, cilandro. Mix. BAM. Mexican green salsa. Orders of magnitude better than store-bought jar garbage.
February 5th, 2012 at 11:32 pm
YUM! Burrito, taco, fajita… I DONT give a flying fig…this looks good and I am making it…
February 6th, 2012 at 12:26 am
god i’m hungry for whatever the hell properly named dish that is.
February 6th, 2012 at 12:35 am

mad props for flipping it with your fingers without burning yourself.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:32 am
So. You need to know this. I fu~ AHEM. Freaking love your site, and your recipes. I want more FOOD! I’ve made each and every one of your recipes so far, and I have NEVER been disappointed. Seriously, though. More food.
February 6th, 2012 at 9:54 am
this is terrible. tasted worse than the drawing, you really lost your touch since 2am chilli. why don’t you examine some fundamentals!
February 6th, 2012 at 9:59 am
I want to marry this guy!
February 6th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
I come from a Mexican family, and I can easily tell you that tortillas are supposed to be heated on a griddle.
Of course, if you want to be extra-manly, you can make them, like I do.
February 6th, 2012 at 7:11 pm
you sir, have made my day. possibly my week. but most assuredly my day. please, do not stop posting recipes.
February 6th, 2012 at 7:19 pm
So I added a pepper that I’ve had for about a year now. I ground it up and added it to the spices. I’ll let you know how it comes out.
February 6th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
you seriously need a print option w/o pictures for your recipes. 17 pages? i don’t have no ipad to keep in the kitchen. f**k that noise.
February 6th, 2012 at 7:38 pm
pineapple ABSOLUTELY belongs in dinner food. and there’s nothing wrong with the order this is presented. its a simple straight forward way to cook a great dinner.

As commentor number 50…
I think this sounds amazing and I REALLY enjoy reading (and making then eating) your recipes. Keep up the great work!
February 8th, 2012 at 1:19 am
Hmm. If I leave out the peppers and toned down the spicyness(a travesty, I agree. But we do what we must), I MIGHT be able to get the picky child to eat this. Will have to give it a shot.
February 8th, 2012 at 6:17 am
And another one delivered like a Pro.
Any news on your book? I want one copy as soon it is out
February 8th, 2012 at 9:18 am

February 8th, 2012 at 11:42 am
Just made this and it turned out great! XD
February 8th, 2012 at 12:57 pm
If you really want your measure-bot to explode, you should heat up your tortillas in a pan, that’s just to increase a 10% your “man-points”, but if you’re really a man, you should heat ‘em up directly from the fire.

February 8th, 2012 at 11:56 pm
I just made this recipe tonight, amazing!! The combination of sweet pineapple and tender chicken was an amazing play of flavors.
February 9th, 2012 at 12:46 am
I’m wondering where the hell you’re from… Steaming flour tortillas???
February 9th, 2012 at 1:31 am

February 11th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Dude.
This is the sexiest, coolest, epic-est cooking site evar.
Damn.
Respect.

WELL DONE! I’m always leery of chicken getting cooked until it’s dry & tough. The pineapple juice worked perfectly to tenderize the chicken. I threw in a few of the pineapple pieces and added some beans. Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!
February 12th, 2012 at 4:34 am
Love the way to present your recipes! well dne!

We heat our tortillas using an Emmet “Doc” Brown approved nuclear reactor. I might be trying this recipe for the week, I want to re-start cooking my own meals to take to the office (’cause the food from the company cafeteria sucks).
Keep it going! Also, if you get published…are you going to try for a kindle (or whatever, just no paper) version? I’ll definitively buy it.
Also if ANYONE(this word sounds strikingly close to “anoying”, mmm…) wonders what fajita means: Strips or rectangle-shaped pieces of meat. Usually grilled red meat or chicken…OH MY I HAVE WRITTEN TOO MUCH! BYE!
February 12th, 2012 at 2:50 pm
Love this website – will be trying this recipe soon! Keep it up.
February 12th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
this is my shit
I love you, but you knew that yeah?
February 13th, 2012 at 11:38 am
So microwaving a tortilla isn’t manly, but ShockTop’s OK?
either way it looks delicious.
February 13th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
Hey, loved the imaging concept. However,could not see…getting old…the kinds of spices you used for your wonderful cooking experience. Maybe you might want to do a formal list of measurements and ingredients at the end of the illustrations for those of us who are totally annal. I never thought of pineapple but it sounds like a great idea and you’ve inspired me to make this the next time I cook Mexican. Also, the double starch thing has to go…rice aaannnnddd flour tortilla…not a good idea unless you’re training and need the carbs! Also agree with the poster who suggested to cook chicken first, then spices, then juice. Remember the juice is to marinate not to cook with generally….so adding a few pineapple pieces and a few Tbls of pineapple juice would be wonderful!!!
February 13th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
I love how you incorporate cartoons in your site. Fun!
February 13th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Made it and it was a little too spicy for the family. Tasted great and then BAM, cayenne pepper just hit you out of nowhere. Definitely doing it again but with a little less cayenne. Thanks!
February 13th, 2012 at 7:19 pm
I swear to God, I cook using these recipes, and people think I’m some kind of cooking virtuoso. Thanks for the ideas! With a few modifications, I make them my own, and now I even impress the co-workers, and family. On point.
February 13th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Giving it a try! I’ll let you know how it turned out!
February 13th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Excuse me! Real mean don’t use pineapple on mexican food or pizza! You have no room to diss anybody that heats up tortillas in a microwave! Do not let this happen again!
February 14th, 2012 at 1:54 am
This turned out great! I marinated it then threw it on the stove. It was so good had the pineapple turn brown and it was awesome!
February 14th, 2012 at 2:35 am
If people don’t agree with the the recipe THE AUTHOR HAS CREATED Shut the F*** up and get off this recipe and move on to the next. OR get some gumption and start your own website. Nuff said.
Now that I am finished with my rant on ignorant hurtful people, Ahem… I am so eager to try this but I am SOOO allergic to bell peppers its not even funny. So I am trying to figure out if it will taste the same. I have tried almost all of your other recipes with AMAZING results! Thank you for keeping this going. I have been a fan since 2 AM Chili was just out.
And yes I do have speakers in my kitchen!
Keep up the great work!
February 14th, 2012 at 5:02 am
Sounds amazing, and the tortilla steamer idea is a good one. However, real men heat their tortillas directly over the fire of a burner- I’m inclined to think a steamed tortilla is tastier, provided it doesn’t get soggy, but let’s be fair, fire is infinitely manlier than steam.
February 14th, 2012 at 8:59 am
Great posts, but Mushrooms would make it even more manly!
February 15th, 2012 at 5:24 am
PEOPLE< Notice @the beginning of the recipe "fajita" is crossed out and burrito is wrote in! Great no go away!
February 15th, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Who gives a flying flippy fuck about what the dish is called!? It looks delicious and I hope to try it soon. Don’t stop making these recipes bro.
February 16th, 2012 at 3:02 am
I made these yesterday, delicious! I was worried about all the spice, it seemed like a lot but it turned out to be the exact right amount. I would make it exactly the way it is shown, easily the best burrito I’ve ever had!
February 16th, 2012 at 3:35 am
I happened to stumble upon your site and just love it. Your are quite a talented young man. What a great burrito recipe? Thank you.
February 16th, 2012 at 5:30 pm
these arent even funny
February 16th, 2012 at 8:22 pm
i love canadian bacon and pinneapple pizza i stumbled upon this gotta fuckin try good lookin out been trying to find some thing creative3
February 17th, 2012 at 6:42 pm
Emm… I’m Mexican and I’ve never eat “steam” tortillas! I think that’s weird :s
February 18th, 2012 at 11:00 pm
Oh fuck balls. I made this. Though I was unsure of how many pineapples to put in the mixture. (Ended about half, though more would have been enjoyed.)
And that is definitely the best, healthy way to prepare a shell. Kudos.
February 19th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
made this with tofu instead of chicken. yummy!
February 20th, 2012 at 4:00 am
did this for dinner and turned out awesome. keep them coming guy!

February 20th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
My brothers and I made this last night, and we had a few additions:
one: marinating the chicken in the pineapple juice overnight would be delicious.
Two: make sure to leave some pineapple chunks in the juice with the chicken, it’s delicious in the burrito.
Three: We kind of steamed the tortilla’s in the microwave by putting a bowl with a slightly smaller circumference than the tortilla’s in the microwave, with a bit of water in it, then put the tortilla on top of the bowl, and heated it for 30-40 seconds, they tasted great.
Four: we added extra flour, and a bit of corn starch to the sauce so it would thicken up a bit.
And five, the biggest one: let the final product sit for a short while before eating! The sauce congeals and is absolutely delicious.

My roommates think I’m a natural cook! Thanks!
February 20th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Probably the coolest website I have stumbled upon in a while. Will definitely be trying out this recipe.
February 20th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
I like the idea of adding the pineapple juicce to the chicken. Nice blog…by the way!
February 21st, 2012 at 1:08 am
I don’t care if you call it spaghetti or okonomiyaki, saying ‘fajita’ will produce the same results, provided you follow the recipe–which is awesome. I think I will make everything on this website forever. P.S. Log Cabin rox sox!
February 21st, 2012 at 9:06 pm
eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww steamed tortilla! no way man thats what white pple do to great tortillas, flip the pan around and put directly over fire. place tortilla on the hot pan. after ten seconds flip over do this twice thats called a cooked tortilla…
February 21st, 2012 at 9:50 pm
I made these today and they were absolutely delicious! Great recipe! Can’t wait for the next recipe

February 23rd, 2012 at 5:42 pm
I almost started crying when I tasted the pineapples, so fucking good. Like many others, I’ll buy the book as soon as it comes out! By the way, I love you
February 24th, 2012 at 11:54 am
Sounds wonderful — definitely going to try it! BTW, chopped up pineapple in rice is a mighty tasty thing. Cook the rice in water with a bit of pineapple juice, and it’s a great accompaniment for teriyaki-marinated meats. It’d probably be mighty fine here as well. Should I even mention the heavenly taste of grilled pineapple? Nah, I’ll leave that for later…
February 28th, 2012 at 2:42 am
Touche recipe guy, looks good and keep ‘em coming.
March 4th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
Looks sooooooo good. I’ll definitely be making this this week. I love how easy these recipes are
March 5th, 2012 at 10:10 am
Just read some of the anal tortilla-griddling-purist posts, giggling, and now my eyes are completely wonky from that stripey pattern to the left and right on your page. You’d think I’d know how to minimize a browser window, but I really don’t, apparently…
Anyhow, I just wanted to say: love your postscript!
March 5th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Method to steam tortillas = Mind blown!
March 5th, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Pretty sure he introduced an easy method of steaming because people tend to just throw their tortillas in the microwave to warm them up when serving easy taco stuff or whatever. Honestly it doesn’t matter as long as the food is enjoyed, so don’t be a hater
he makes recipes fun to read and easy to follow. So much win! Keep up the good work!
March 6th, 2012 at 5:57 am
always a pleasure, i love the artistry of your site. makes me want to come back everytime. waiting for the next one
March 15th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
In the title, he crosses out ‘fajita’ and replaces it with ‘burrito’. Jesus, learn to read.
March 18th, 2012 at 5:43 am
Who cares what the technical name is, it’s delicious!!
March 31st, 2012 at 7:53 pm
This… I must make it. Yes.
April 7th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
These fajitas were AMAZING! Thank you!
April 13th, 2012 at 3:10 am
So much fun reading your recipe; very creative site. And I like how comprehensive everything is, what with the list at the bottom for extra clarity. Looking forward to making this recipe some special night! Thank you! Keep it up!
May 1st, 2012 at 10:50 am
awesome man!
May 5th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
This site is dripping with win. Publish a book and I will buy a dozen…I swear.
May 6th, 2012 at 12:18 am
Hey man, I made this dish for Cinco de Mayo, it was… awesome! Totally making this again. You’ve got to publish your book dude, I’ll buy that sh*t in a heartbeat!
May 9th, 2012 at 11:32 am
Holy Crap!! These reminded me of a burrito shop in San Diego but better. Keep it with the foodie skills man this was great.
June 5th, 2012 at 1:33 am
it fucking says burrito you critical nitpicking assholes. Delicious by the way.
June 29th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
My whole life I have never been anything resembling a cook beyond the world of ramen and frozen burritos. This site has changed that; the food always looks so delicious, and the tone of the writing and the photos and illustrations make it look so easy to do that I just couldn’t help but start trying it. I’ve been cooking bomb dinners once a week for three weeks now, and there’s always enough left over to keep me fed for a while. I’m saving money, learning a new skill, and eating delectable dishes made with my own hands. Thanks! And MOAR PLZ!!!1
July 6th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
Why is everyone so butt hurt? IT’S A FAJITA BURRITO. Who gives a shit if he puts rice in his, maybe he thought it was better that way? GET OFF his nutsack, & enjoy life you nitpickin assholes.
July 13th, 2012 at 9:11 am
So, that Shock Top, is that just for the chef’s benefit or did you skip a step where it was used? Either way, this looks tasty. I’m about to whip up a steak version of this for lunch, and I can’t friggin wait
August 3rd, 2012 at 5:15 pm
I love this recipe so much. As a college student this was great. I made this a few times each semester. It was pretty cheap, tasted great and lasted me awhile. I could make it on Monday and it would last me till Wednesday, dinner and lunch. Thank you so much for posting this.
August 11th, 2012 at 8:50 am
me and my girlfriend made these last night. we added our own rice (boil in the bag) just to make it more burrito than fajita!! it was the best thing we have ever made in the kitchen, better than nandos!!!
September 7th, 2012 at 9:44 am
Make your own torillas. Your mind will be blown.
Combine 2 cups flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1/4 cup butter, crumbling with your fingers until the mixture is fine and even. Add 1/2 cup water and combine. Knead 2 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap for about 30 minutes. Divide into 6-8 pieces. Roll out thin. Toss one on a hot, ungreased skillet. Wait for it to puff (about 20-30 seconds), flip over for another 20 seconds. Done. Continue with the rest. Bad ass tortillas. Carry on, gentlemen.
September 29th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
I don’t understand why so many people are complaining about pineapples.
November 2nd, 2012 at 2:24 am
As a guy who lives in the United States (it’s one of those two countries slightly north of Mexico; also slightly north of Mexico is where this recipe is being made) I don’t give so much as one fuck – nay, one half of one fuck! – how Mexicans prepare their tortillas in Mexico, or in any other country.
I like steamed tortillas. They’re not “wet” unless you are incapable of steaming things without soaking them in water. I don’t feel like burning my damn fingers on no upside-down skillet on the stove or setting my corn-meal burrito-diaper ablaze trying to scorch it on a damn open flame, either. Steaming makes the tortillas hot and flexible. Good enough for me.
November 13th, 2012 at 3:31 am
It’s smell so good and it is so delicious!
Thank you so much for recipe.

This was my second meal I made from this website. Oh my goodness it is so good! I really love how easy the recipe is to follow. Please make more, i keep looking every day for more new ones! THANKS AGAIN!!!

I pimped it with some coconut milk.
Fucking godly.
March 23rd, 2013 at 6:34 pm
I made this with leftover TrustFall chicken. It is so good. Too easy to be called cooking!!
