Marlene’s Beef Fajitas
by Marlene Owens
Eating Beef Fajitas in restaurants is quite convenient and delicious. Cooking it at home can also be very convenient, delicious, and inexpensive. You can save lots of money by making restaurant recipes at home.
Today, the recipe is none other than one of my favorites. “Beef Fajitas.”
I remember one day I was treated to lunch at a Mexican restaurant by a dear friend who turned me on to ‘ Beef Fajitas’ many years ago.
It was so good, that I had to make it for my family. I asked the waiter what was the seasoning on the beef.
The seasonings are easy to find in most stores!
“Fajita seasonings,” he said. I then asked him, “where do you buy it,” and he said, “at most grocery stores.”
When I went grocery shopping that week, I went directly to the section for ‘Ethnic foods’ and found it.
The first time I ever tasted Fajitas was made with beef. I brought some pepper steak meat that was sliced and I marinated it overnight wth the seasonings and did my family enjoy it.
Make it for Everyone!
This dish is for everyone in the family including the children, who really liked it!
What I did was make it with beef strips. I let the beef marinate overnight and In those days, I use to fry it.
Make it Healthier!
Now, I bake it in the oven and then gently saute it with the vegetables.
I’ve found this to be a little bit more healthier, since I’m not frying everything. This is a quick dish that you can put together in no time.
Bake It!
Once the beef is baked in the liquid marinate. Just drain it, reserving the liquid and gently saute the beef with some fresh garlic.
in with the veggies, place them on the flour Tortillas add the topping and you are finish.
You can double the recipe for more people and I suggest you do that because everyone will be so happy eating your “Fast Foods Beef Fajitas”
