When I graduated from college my parents took my husband and I on a trip to Mexico. We went to Puerto Vallarta. It was the first time that I had really traveled as an adult. I loved it! Unfortunately there was a minor hurricane but that's another story! As we were wondering around the local town we stopped in this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant and it is there that I had the best fajitas ever. Seriously life changing! Since then the quest has gone on to find some that compare. These Mixed Steak and Chicken Fajitas are pretty dang close!
Whenever we go out to eat Mexican I can also count on my husband to order Fajitas. It is his absolute favorite. But why go out when they are so easy to prepare at home. The hardest part is slicing up the peppers. That's when I call in some help from the hubby!
I love the combination of steak and chicken. Then you can have just a steak fajita or chicken…or mix them up! After you have constructed your fajita do not to squeeze some fresh lime juice over top. Just a light squeeze will really make all the flavors pop!
Be sure to add these Mixed Steak and Chicken Fajitas to the menu this week…you won't be disappointed! Enjoy!
