3. Add more oil to the skillet and put the meat in. Cook through. Add the onion mixture back into the skillet, as well as the tomatoes. Cook and stir until heated through, about one minute. Add the lime juice and stir.

Mom Tips

I do all the prep work for this meal during the day so I can just throw it together at dinner time. I slice and chop the veggies, and cut the meat and add the spices to it. It comes together really quickly. Then later, while I'm cooking on the oven, I wrap some tortillas in some foil and heat them in the oven on about 300 degrees until I'm done.

You can also make this recipe with steak. Use about 12 ounces. I like to order our beef from Hearst Ranch because it's grass-fed. You can always find great coupon codes and free shipping, and the beef is excellent. Once you order for the first time, they start sending you great deals on free meat. They have fajita packs, which means I don't have to slice the beef myself!
