I love Mexican food. Sadly, I cannot cook a lot of it well. Fajitas are a go-to for me because they are relatively simple and versatile depending on ingredients on hand and amount of time available to cook. Serve them over rice or in tortillas. Both ways are delicious. Ingredients 1 flank steak½ tsp. salt½… Continue reading Steak Fajitas
