Notes

Looking for options to serve with fajitas. Here are some suggestions.
  • guacamole or avocado slices drizzled with lime juice salt and pepper.
  • lime wedges (squeeze juice on right before eating, yum!)
  • Salsa, sour cream, cotija cheese or Mexican shredded cheese. 
  • Fresh chopped cilantro, jalapenos, green or white onions. 
Heat the tortillas in the oven, microwave or individually on a gas burner on low.
