beef fajita pasta
if you are anything like our family, you have a true love for fajitas. it is one of the things that we look forward to ordering when we eat out. so it is natural for me to try to recreate one of our loves, that stretches further. when i go to any grocery store, i keep an eye out for thinly sliced beef round. it is very inexpensive and can be used in a variety of dishes such as steak sandwiches, beef stir-fry's and this beef fajita recipe. the key to this dish is absolutely the marinated beef, close to what i used in my fajita chicken recipe! with that flavorful component, it makes a delicious sauce that our family loved!
