Fajita Burritos

We're all about all things Mexican food in the SFFS house. One of MY favorites is fajitas! I love that sizzling skillet of veggies and meat...all smokey when it's brought to the table. I feel like it's a rather healthy choice over say....enchiladas (which I also love) that are usually smothered in some kind of sauce. I can opt to use the tortillas or not, but basically I love the whole thing. So scooping up all the ingredients into a big ole tortilla to make a burrito is a great way to have fajitas the easy way. Make them all up, cover with foil and pop in the oven to keep warm. IT Guy even took one in his lunch the next day and heated it up in the microwave. This is a really yummy and easy thing to throw together for a crowd, too!
