Fire up your grill and prepare these skillet fajitas! These are – hands down – some of the best fajitas we’ve ever had! The flavors are out of this world and you’ll have a hard time eating only one serving. We’ve made these with half steak and half chicken and all chicken. Shrimp is another option that would work but we haven’t tried it yet. Pair your fajitas with our Tex-Mex Black Beans!
