Fajitas- Quick & Easy Dinner!

Fajitas are probably one of Lo's go-to meals during the week. They are fast and super easy to make.

You don't need much to make fajitas. Peppers and onions will do just fine if you don't have mushrooms, but mushrooms are a great vegetable to add, as they are tasty and filling. You can even add refried beans for extra protein to your fajitas.

Not only will you be making crazy tasty fajitas, but you will be making TWO salsas!! These salsas add to the experience of eating fajitas. The fun thing about Mexican food; even though fajitas are more Tex-Mex, you gotta have salsas and condiments. The salsas brighten up each bite and send your mouth on a flavour explosion!

These fajitas are so tasty that they would even WOW your friends and family if you were having a casual dinner party or bbq. Serve it family style and everyone can have fun building their fajitas.

Your best friend will take one bite and scream, "SABROSO!!! That's a fine fajita!"
