Welcome to Fajita Bonita a food blog about learning the art of barbecue! It’s been a long time coming, and I am really excited to finally be picking up the torch to begin this barbecue journey. I am a third generation southern Texas barbecuer and have been eating barbecue forever. Growing up my parents house was the place to go for fajitas, ribs, and amazing chicken. While the menu has changed subtly over the years, the family, friends, fun and great food have not. I was inspired to begin this journey by a simple question, “do you barbecue?” It really got me thinking about why I don’t since I love barbecue. I bought a locally made pit, which was an adventure all on its own (I’ll post on that later) and have begun firing it up! Just to be clear, I have seen this done over a thousands times and have been walked through the process one time over 13 years ago. For reasons beyond my control I was stationed on sides. I’m a hell of a sides maker, but I am putting that aside ;) and moving to the grill. I spent Wednesday (grill purchasing day) and Friday barbecuing chicken. Right now my biggest issue is managing heat and I’ll be workshopping after each session with my dad (Tio Joe). He’s got the inside track on working the grill (40+ years), and is always trying new techniques and flavors. I’m also getting some help from my husband Alex (so I don’t burn the house down) and my pit dog J (he’s seasoned at BBQ’s). What to expect from upcoming blog post: calamity, smokiness, no makeup, fire, meat, meat, and meat! While I grew up eating a set barbecue menu, I anticipate my BBQ’s will get adventurous. I’m thinking tofu, Korean BBQ, trompo, and grilled cobbler; the end goal is to make some amazing food and pick up a few new skill along the way. I’d love to hear your thoughts and any tips would be welcomed. You can reach me at [email protected] or follow my journey on Instagram at fajita_bonita!
