Where to Buy

Make it even easier by buying fajita-style beef that’s pre-cooked and sliced.
Strips of raw flank steak or tri-tip can also be economical cuts of beef.
Change it up by using shredded pork or use grilled or sausage or sauteed chicken strips.
Swap the soft tortilla out for a crunchy taco shell or go healthy with whole wheat tortillas.
Toss a little Merkts Sharp Cheddar Cheese into the pan with the steak, peppers and onions right at the end of cooking. It’ll add some extra creamy-cheesy indulgence.
Don’t just serve them up for breakfast—these are great any time of the day—even a midnight snack.
