Notes

Cook's note:

I ONLY make my tortillas from scratch now (thanks Lori) Here's a great video and recipe on how to make em! EZPZ too! And Casera and Salsa Verde are from Herdez® the ONLY brand I'll ever use.. These little tweaks make these fajitas extra delicious!

Quick notes

If you want your fajitas to sizzle to the table. Heat lightly oiled flat skillets in 400 degree oven, for about 4 minutes. You can do this as you assemble the condiments to bring to the table. When you are ready to serve, remove the cast iron servers from the oven and quickly arrange the meat and peppers and onions on it. It will immediately start to sizzle from their fat and moisture. Top with a spritz of lime juice and you'll have those 'restaurant' sizzling fajitas at your own table.
