Tips: These fajitas were easy to put together and tasted wonderful! We used top sirloin steak that we already had in the freezer so our beef was very tender. Obviously there are a plethora of good toppings for fajitas including guacamole, sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, etc. Cheese and cilantro are what our family used. My husband and I chose to use corn tortillas and heated them slightly in the same skillet we cooked the meat in. I highly recommend doing this. I did use flour tortillas for the kids, however since I could roll them up burrito-style and make it easier for them to hold.
