I’ll have to admit these ribs are finger-lickin’ good and fall-off-the-bone tender!  I’ve made them for a lot of my buddies – including my preacher – and some have even suggested that I try bottling my sauce and selling it to the public!!!

The first time I made these beef fajitas, my family couldn’t get enough.  The next time I had to make a double batch so everyone had enough.  This is a favorite evening meal for me because it fixes up quick.  It would be a good one for entertaining, too—the avocados add a nice dash of color.
