Fajitas are one of my favourite things to order when my husband and I go out to Mexican restaurants, but most of the time they aren’t done very well.

Sirloin is more expensive, but it’s really tender. Flank and skirt steak work well, too, and at a cheaper price.

If you want to make chicken fajitas, you can save money by buying bone-in chicken breasts and cutting them off the bone yourself. I can get chicken breasts on the bone on sale for $1.99 per pound, whereas the boneless stuff is at least twice that price.
Shrimp fajitas are great, too, but make sure you get the freshest possible shrimp. If you use shrimp that isn’t perfectly fresh, you’ll taste it in the fajitas. Take a quick whiff of the package and if they smell too strongly of shrimp, avoid them. You can always use the frozen, pre-cooked shrimp. Just thaw them first, season them well, and
So without further ado, here are the best recipes for fajitas!
