Excellent fajita recipe. I used a mix of green/yellow pepper and also used red onion. Shredded extra old cheddar was added as an additional "serve with". We both really enjoyed these and will repeat often I'm sure. Recipe should state for beginner cooks that the onion and peppers need to be sliced thin.

    I have only had fajitas in restaurants, so this was a bit different. It was, however, very tasty. This is not a very spicy recipe. Which is fine for my family. My family really liked the flavor and smell of cumin. We omited the tomato. Used fresh red and yellow bell peppers from the garden and added fresh sliced mushrooms at the end of the cooking time. Served with pico de gallo, assorted shredded cheeses, chopped lettuce and sour cream.

    These were super! Karen, you do have a way with Mexican food! I used sirloin steak and the red onion, and added a little minced garlic. Served this with a jicama salad and Mexican soup. Thank you Karen, we will use this one a lot!

    This was a really good recipe that everyone enjoyed. Not really spicy but it's a good all around flavor that you expect from a fajita. I did add a little tabasco and I served it with pepper jack cheese, so it was spicy enough. When I make it again, however, I think I will forget adding the water and just marinate the seasonings into the meat for a while before cooking. With the water I added, then the juices coming off the meat I couldn't cook the majority of the liquid off before my peppers started getting too soft. So most of the flavor was in the bottom of the bowl. Thanks!
