I have been making these fajitas ever since I found this recipe site, and can't believe I haven't written a review! These are just delicious - and were my 13 yr old son's request for his birthday party! I usually use skirt steak, but have used flank and flat-iron steaks and boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well. All work wonderfully!! I often make Pico de Gallo to accompany the fajitas, but they are just as good plain. Thanks for posting this recipe!!
