If you are looking for an easy fajita recipe, we have got you covered! One of our all-time favorites are our Steak Fajitas (Chili Lime Steak Fajitas) or toss them with some cilantro lime rice to make a Steak Fajita Bowl. Both are delicious and made with a flank steak that has been marinated in our homemade fajita marinade and fresh fajita veggies that were sautéed with our own fajita seasoning!
