Fajitas are a classic Tex-Mex dish, usually featuring strips of grilled meat, peppers, and onion. They are served on flour tortillas or corn tortillas with additional toppings. Fajitas are also usually presented and served unassembled. Then they are assembled at the dinner table.

How to best serve these beef fajitas?

My favorite way to serve these beef fajitas is with flour tortillas, sour cream, fresh lime, and some cheese on top. I love to use plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream sometimes too! This is a healthier, high-protein option that tastes the same. Some other toppings you could do include - shredded lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, refried beans, or hot sauce. You could also turn this recipe into a ground beef fajita bowl with some rice or even serve it over lettuce as a salad!

How to best store this recipe?

You can store this recipe in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep best for about 5 days! To reheat, simply place the veggie and beef mixture in the microwave for 60-90 seconds depending on the serving size.
