Best Beef Fajitas image

This recipe is from Taste of Home Cooking for 2 from the summer 2006. I lost my copy moving back to the States so I'm posting for safe keeping. This is a simple and easy recipe and you pretty much have the ingredients on hand. Note: Prep time does not include marinating time. Also this recipe works well with an indoor grill and cooking the veggies in a fry pan or wok.
