Best Grilled Beef Fajitas With Pico De Gallo Recipes

BEEF FAJITAS WITH PICO DE GALLO

Beef Fajitas With Pico De Gallo image

Sort of a semi-Asian approach to fajitas. Adapted from the Kikkoman website, but I use lite (lower sodium) versions of the soy & teriyaki sauces. They also spread butter on tortillas before adding meat & toppings; I omit the butter. Preparation time does not include 2 hours for the pico de gallo to set, covered, before using.

GRILLED STEAK FAJITAS

Grilled Steak Fajitas image

This tasty main dish is as quick and easy to assemble as tacos. Marinating the meat overnight makes it very tender. We like the hearty and flavorful steak slices. I serve the fajitas with Spanish rice, refried beans and a gelatin dessert. -Pamela Pogue, Quitman, Texas
