    The perfect dinner! Easy to make and delicious!

    This is one of my go-to dinner recipes. It is quick to cook and always is so delicious!

     

    Here’s a question for you! Are fajitas tacos?

    Fajitas usually come with tortillas… and I always make a taco when I order them at a restaurant.  What do you think?

    Check out these other tasty taco recipes:

    • Carnitas Tacos
    • Street Tacos
    • Tri Tip Tacos
    • Potato Tacos
    • Chicken Tacos
    • Salmon Tacos

    Another thing I love about this easy beef fajita recipe, is that it uses only one pan so clean up is easy!

    I love all the colors!

    How to make fajita tacos?

    • Slice your steak into thin strips
    • Cook it with all the seasonings
    • Remove from pan the wipe the pan clean
    • Then sauté all the veggies
    • Eat!

    No need to marinate the meat!

    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!
