How long should you marinate fajita steak?
For this recipe you don’t need a marinade! You just add everything to the pan it cooks into a delicious easy fajita!
The lime juice will add a tasty flavor and also break down the meat (tenderize it) when it cooks!
What kind of beef do you use for fajitas?
I like to use a thin steak like thin sliced round. However, if you want thicker steak slices a NY Strip or Tri Tip would work well.
Bell peppers, onion, garlic- DELICIOUS!
Do you have to use liquid smoke or Worcestershire sauce?
Nope- the steak fajita tacos will still be delicious without them! However, if you can use them, I highly recommend it.
What bell peppers should you use?
I love using bell pepper slices from several different colored bell peppers. I just love seeing all the colors. However, you can use any bell peppers you prefer.

Can I cook the steak and veggies ahead of time? Do fajitas reheat well?
Yes, I love cooking up the steak and veggies, refrigerating them and then reheating everything.
To reheat the meat and veggies you can either microwave or toss them in a sauté pan and heat up.
What are your favorite toppings for fajita tacos?
I recommend cilantro, sour cream, avocado, and pico! My cilantro sauce, green salsa, or red chile sauce would all be tasty on these too!
