We had a few Hispanic people working on our house and I was a bit hesitant to serve them “their” traditional dish, having it taste completely different. But since I was grilling the food right next to them, I decided to share. These are the people who literally grew up on fajitas, and they loved the dish!

I was proud of myself too, since these turned out darn good! It has a combination of vegetables and protein, tastes light, but at the same time very filling. This is not exactly a traditional recipe, but a version of my own. You’re going to absolutely love it.
