Beef fajitas carry one back to the days
of the great herds of cattle on vast ranchos. Tender beef, marinated
in a spicy sauce and skillet-grilled is a savory compliment to
colorful pepper slices in these fajitas.

1 (16-ounce) jar ORTEGA
Salsa - Thick & Chunky (Medium)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided use
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chili powder
