“Why I slept on making these for so long I’ll never know. These tastes exactly like restaurant fajitas (we go to Mexican every Friday for lunch) and I couldn’t have been happier at how EASY this recipe is to make. Thank you for this new staple recipe!” — a cook, 5.0★
“We don’t eat mushrooms, and don’t use lemon juice, but do use lime juice! We love TexMex food as well. Fast and easy to cook, and oh so good to eat! We eat tenses often. I’ll be making some of these soon.” — a cook, 5.0★
