Mexican Restaurant Cooks, please help?

I cook fajitas at home but they never taste like they do at the restaurant. I marinate the meat and cook it seperately from the vegis. Also, mine aren't greasy and they need to be. We eat healthy every other day, on fajita day I want grease and guacamole! How exactly do mexican restaurants cook thier deliciously greasy fajitas? If someone cooks for a mexican restaurant and would tell me everything from the marinade to what kind of cooking surface, it would make me so happy! I cook a lot and I feel like I can figure about any recipe out. I can certainly make something that resembles a fajita, but it is no where near as delicious as any local restaurant's! A million thanks!

Anyone have some easy authentic Mexican food recipes?

My husband is from Mexico, and would be thrilled if I knew how to make more authentic dishes. But he is a terrible cook, so I have to figure it out on my own. I would love ANYTHING (except mole), but I would especially like a taco recipe, a torta recipe, or a homemade flan recipe. Thanks in advance!

She knows what the portions look like, but can't tell me exact measurements... which makes it a bit harder for some dishes.

College cooking recipes! .. (read)?

So I am renting an apartment with a friend when I start college in the winter. I am just wondering what are some good College Friendly recipes? I don't really like mac & cheese from the box or fast food that much (who knew a 17 year old wouldnt! LOL). I wouldnt mine taco bell every once in a while. I start buying pots/pans/untensils/cups and other cooking supplies soon and figured I would ask for some recipes so I could start cookin when I get there! Maybe something that I could make on a weekend and freeze and heat up during the week? I like mexican .. chicken .. beef (never cooked it myself though) .. i love dips! i love all types of spices. i just dont do good with fish/seafood .. but I will probably be cooking it for my roomate because he likes fish. Any other suggestions would be helpful. Thanks alot!
