Steak Fajitas Recipe

C.J. is not a big fan of Mexican food….this is the main reason that I don’t have many Mexican food recipes on the blog. He does, however, like fajitas.

This time around, I tried some new seasoning for the steak and made homemade flour tortillas. You can find the recipe for those, here.

We also used orange bell pepper…C.J. picked it out. Feel free to use whatever color of pepper you would like.
