Tex Mex Fajitas

The unusual mid 70 degree weather that we had last week really got me in the mood for summer cookouts and grilling. These beef fajitas are perfect on a warm summer night paired with a Mexican beer…or when you are just wishing it was a warm summer night! 😉 My husband and I never get tired of mexican food, you can’t go wrong with all the delicious food.

This easy and delicious recipe comes from Cooking Light and it only gets better the longer you let it marinate! Marinated flank steak tossed with grilled onions and bell peppers are like a fiesta in your mouth! So get that grill fired up and serve these delicious fajitas with guacamole and mexican rice. Olé!
