So we apparently have to wait until Fr. Leo's next cookbook comes out to get his recipe  
I used to have a yummy recipe from a flour tortilla bag.....but I threw it away 
Any good recipes to share?

oh just whatever you have on hand.. some sort of meat strip.. maybe uncooked maybe from leftovers..
veggies if you like.. peppers are typical and onion but others can be nice too.. broccoli or zucchini..
spices.. some variation of the mexican flavor spices..
cumin, cayenne (other red peppers), oregano, garlic, salt, black pepper, chili pwd, cilantro, lime, etc
cook it until meat is done and veggies tender but not mushy
put it on a flour tortilla with a sprinkle of cheese and some good salsa and sour cream and lettuce and refried beans, avacado.. or whatever combo you like.. and voila fajitas

Mary Chris, we've been craving them for a while since we saw that episode. I told dh we couldn't have them until we could have flour tortillas. So maybe the cookbook will correspond with G outgrowing wheat allergies? We're hoping.

This is my favorite chicken recipe:
Chicken Fajitas
Makes 6 servings
2 T fresh lime juice
Grated st of 1 lime
1 T chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, 1 chopped, 1 minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 T extra-virgin olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 6 oz each, lightly pounded to an even thickness
2 yellow onions, halved and cut into half-moons ¼ inch thick
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cutinto ¼ inch strips
2 jalopeno peppers seeded and cut into strips ¼ inch wide
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, crushed garlic, ½ teasoon salt, and ¼ teasoon pepper. Whisk in 2 T of the olive oil to make a marinade. Transfer the marinade to a large zippered plastic bag, add the chicken, seal, and turn to coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours, but no longer.
2. Meanwhile, build a charcoal fire in an outdoor grill with a cover and let burn until covered with white ash. Leave the coals heaped in the center of the grill; do not spread out. For a gas grill, preheat on high heat, then reduce the heat to medium.
3. In a large frying pan, heat the remaining 2 T olive oil over medium heat. Add the oinions, bell peppers, and jalapenos and cook, stirring often, until the oinions are translucent and very tender, about 15 minutes. Add the minced garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set the vegetables aside in the pan.
4. Lightly oil the grill rack. Grill, turning once, just until seared on both sides, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to the perimeter of the grill rack, not directly over the coals. Cover the grill and cook until the chicken breast fell firm when pressed int eh centers, about 10 minutes. For a gas grill, cover and cook over medium heath throughout, turning once, about 15 minutes total.
5. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice on the diagonal across the grain and transfer to a bowl.
6. When read to serve, return the frying pan to medium-high heat and reheat the vegatables until sizzling. Serve the tortillas, guacamole, and sour cream with the chicken and vegetables, allowing diners to wrap the ingredients in the tortillas.
I also like to grill the veggies!
