Notes
- You can use your own blend of fajita spices instead of the premade fajita seasoning or taco seasoning. Just mix 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder together.
- If you are using the cilantro, make sure you rinse all the grit away and dry the leaves well.
- For a little zip, you could add a diced seeded jalapeno.
