     These were wonderful! We really enjoyed these & plan to have again. (FYI- Coriander & Cilantro are basically the same plant. Cilantro are the leaves & Coriander are the seeds. Hope that helps some having problems with the coriander leaf) :) - 4/23/10

     Definitely the best fajita's I have ever made and maybe the best I have ever had! I added tomatoes, squash, cilantro, a dash of cayenne pepper and a splash of beer! Excellent! Thanks! - 10/3/09

     I really enjoyed this recipe. I don't like using packets because they are so high in sodium. I used lime juice instead of lemon, still came out VERY tasty! - 6/7/09

     I loved this! Even my 17 month old son loved it! I spread a little refried beans on a tortilla and then topped with chicken. Yum! - 3/5/11

     Ok ? for you what is a coriander leaf, and I'm wanting to use lemon juice how much instead off half a lemon. - 4/1/10

    Hey Brandtsgirl, it usually says on the bottle of lemon juice - they're not all the same strength. My lemon juice bottle says 1 tbsp = half a lemon.
