We try Filipino barbecued short ribs, chicken adobo, and crispy Lumpia. Then, we visit the birthplace of the fajita and try some of the state’s best versions of this iconic dish.

Pour a Glass
This week, Tanji uncorks something extra special for Chardonnay fans: Paris Valley Road Chardonnay ($12). You’ll taste crisp apples and a hint of melon in this California bottle, along with slight toasted bread notes. The wine is bright and crisp and easy to drink all by itself or perfect for pasta or roast chicken. Pick it up at your local H-E-B and don’t miss Tanji’s other great picks for the New Year in episode 12!
