We couldn’t wait a day longer. My bell peppers are slow to produce this year, so I finally gave in and purchased the colorful gems when I caught them on sale. These fajitas, a recipe from my sister-in-law, are a family favorite!

** The meat will slice easier if it is still partially frozen.
** Feel free to use just beef or just chicken. I’ve heard that shrimp is good, but we haven’t tried that.
** Mix up a 4X batch of the seasoning and use 1 1/2 tsp. for each recipe to ease preparation.
This looks tasty and easy! And we just went to On the Border this weekend
That looks great. I just love eating red and yellow peppers. There’s something about the way they taste!
Oh, wow! These sound scrumptious!!
Those look delicious! My husband would be a super happy guy if he came home to a house smelling like fajitas. I’ll have to make it for him one of these days.
Those look great! I bought colored peppers at Aldi’s for $1.49(half price), I used half of them already. I think I will give these a try with the other half.

Those look GREAT!!
These sound delicious! Hubs loves fajitas, but I have never tried to make them. I think I might give this a shot next week. Thanks for sharing!
We love fajitas!
mmmm, i love mexican and your food looks really good!
Thanks for sharing!
I love fajitas but always cheat and get the pre-seasoned meat and just grill it. Yours look delicious.
Those look great! I usually have these ingredients in my house but somehow I forget about making these.
Sound delish! We love fajitas at our place, esp. with fresh ingredients.
Visiting from Jen’s party! I’m having a Decorating Dilemmas Party on Wednesday…I’d love it if you could come party with us. 
how delicious
These look delicious! I have them prepped and ready for dinner tomorrow. Can’t wait to try them!
Love Fajitas of any kind! Thank you so much for this recipe! I have made them before, but I do like to try new ways to make old favorites. I love fast, easy, and nutritious.
We are into our canning and things like that. My bell peppers didn’t do too well this year. I think I need to move them to a different place. But then again, it has been so hot that everything is burning up, even with watering it every day and sometimes twice a day.
The heat has been hard on the garden this summer, for sure!
