As a stay at home parent I’m always looking for quick and easy recipes that my family will love! One of our favorite meals is beef fajitas – they are packed with flavor but don’t take too long to make! The best part is that everyone can customize their own fajita with their favorite toppings which makes it fun for everyone at dinner time!

The key to making flavorful beef fajitas is marinating the steak before cooking it – this helps add some amazing flavor to the fajitas! I like to marinate my steak overnight but if you’re short on time you can marinate for at least an hour before cooking it – either way it will be delicious! Once you’ve marinated your steak it’s time to start cooking – I like to cook my vegetables first so that they have time to soften up before adding in my steak strips – this helps the flavors really meld together! Once everything is cooked it’s time to assemble your fajitas – I like to use flour tortillas but you can use whatever type of tortilla you prefer! Just fill each tortilla with your steak and veggies mixture then top them off with your favorite toppings like guacamole, sour cream, cheese or salsa (or all of them!)

My family loves having beef fajitas because they are always full of flavor but don’t take too much time to make! It’s also great because everyone can customize their own fajita so everyone is happy come dinner time which makes my job as a stay at home parent much easier! So next time you need an easy dinner idea give beef fajitas a try – you won’t be disappointed!
