Really amazing recipe! Thank you for the full instructions and the photos too. I don't have Fajita in my kitchen but I'll try with a similar seasoning.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy!
Great easy recipes! Love!
Thanks so much Lydia!
I bet this would be good without the tortillas and just placed on a bed of wild rice with the toppings and white sauce. I think thats how Im gonna try it. YUMMMM!!!!
So good and such an easy recipe for those who don’t like to cook. Put it in the crockpot while I was at work and it was done when I got home for dinner. Only thing I would do differently next time is use less salsa, mine turned out a little more squishy and less crunchy than I would like. Otherwise so good.
Do you have a fajitas recipe for steak or could I substitute chicken with steak
