grilled fajitas
Our family loves this recipe... we make it often. We have made the meat and veggies on the grill and froze it for a cold winter's day too... This allows everyone to pick out what they want for topping off their tortilla! We also save the left overs for other recipes. *** We have made these with pork, chicken, beef and even ground beef. *** http://www.justapinch.com/recipe/colleen-sowa/grilled-fajita-breakfast-bagels/quick-easy-healthy-beef?page=1#comment297780
