We had this tonight. Everyone loved it. I had some leftover T-Bone steak & sliced it in thin strips, instead of marinating I simmered it in a covered fry pan. I used the Fajita Seasoning Mix that was posted on the Recipe Zaar, May 9, 2002 by Kathy. I was wonderful. Dinner was a great , Thank You!

    I used both beef and shrimp, and did not marinate the shrimp (in lime juice it will 'cook'). Used southwest seasoning instead of fajita (didn't have any). DS really enjoyed the beef.

    I've made this twice and I'm going to keep on making it! I use Fajita Seasoning Mix by Kathy at Recipezaar with skirt steak.I use 2 bottle pepperoncinis for the habaneros and cider vinegar. I love the combo and it will be made many times in this house. Thanks HeidiSue! Roxygirl
