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?

  • Tri Tip Tacos

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

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.

Perfect in a warmed flour tortilla!

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!
