Answer 2

I think a delicious green salad with tons of things in it, is the best.
You have your meat and your tortilla already. You could cook up a sweet potato with it, and some corn, or some black beans or even a good 'tomatoes and cuke' salad or platter would be good.
Top it all off with mango sorbet or slices of watermelon.

Answer 3

Sweet Corn Cake and Avacado Slices

Answer 4

With fajitas I usually serve a mixture of different colored bell peppers, corn and onions fried together in a skillet. And a side of refried beens.

Answer 5

No i don't think you need a side dish... Meringue is really easy to make... you need: 6 egg whites 180g caster sugar top with: Double cream Fruit ( strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries etc...) method: whisk the egg whites until frothy ( takes about 1 min with electric whisk) pour in sugar while whisking, and keep whisking untill it makes a cream like substance, spoon out onto baking tray with grease proof paper on, cook in oven until looks crispy white, leave too cool and top wiith double cream and fruit :)

Answer 6

well thats what all the good mexican resturants serve...but honestly..try it before you knock it...its a dip, filling and GOOOD.... Take a large stick of velveeta, rotel , hormel chili, 1lb ground beef.. First you will slice the velveeta and put it into a crock pot, start in the middle of the day and slow cook it or late in the day and med high.... Then brown the Ground beef and add that into the crockpot and stir occasionally, add rotel and hormel and when it's all done melting, eat with your choice of chips...you will not be dissappointed... Trust me!!

Answer 7

Answer 10

tortillas, beans, keep it simple so the fajitas will stand out as the main course though..
