I loved these fajitas. They came out delicious and I wanted to let everyone know about the recipe. It calls for tequila but you could also use beer and the flavor is still amazing. I got this out of a "Favorite Brand Name" cookbook and made them last night. I will try to post a picture out of the recipe book for yall. I didnt take a picture of mine because they werent as pretty
