Tips:

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak in lime juice, soy sauce, and your favorite spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer softer vegetables, cover the skillet while cooking to steam them slightly before adding the spices.
  • Customize your fajitas with additional toppings like diced tomatoes, cilantro, or sliced jalapeños for added flavor and freshness.
