Thanks! I was looking at the wrong page in the "TV Guide". There still is time then!

Bring it on...! Grilled chicken, black beans, grilled bell peppers, pico de gallo, and hand-made tortillas... I'm hungry already... There is still time for dinner!

The fajitas are a recent creation only dating back to the early 70s

That's right... You are in the future... Hope they have Mexican restaurants in your neck of the woods...!

I wasn't able to find a Mexican restaurant but I did find a diner that was still open! So I had fries as a midnight snack (they were quite good, too) but now my tummy is upset.

And fajitas, contrary to what you have been led to believe, are NOT Mexican. Repeat, NOT Mexican. They are a Tex-Mex invention.

Well @Wolfer, oil fried potatoes will do that to your stomach, especially since the stomach is probably saying "I'm done processing food well past dinner time, and this food will remind you about heartburn..." Seriously @Wolfer we need to talk... Be well...!

@liubit - very true...! However, at least here in California, Tex-mex (I'm thinking Chili's) and many of the local Mexican restaurants serve fajitas these days... Me: Originally born in Mexico, but a California transplant and likes all kinds of food (in moderation)... A tu salud!
