Fajitas Recipe on a Tortilla

This ground beef fajitas recipe is an easy fajita recipe for a kid friendly dinner that even young children can eat. Plus, if they don't want the peppers and onions, there's veggies hidden in the ground beef!

FAJITAS RECIPE FOR A QUICK WEEKNIGHT DINNER

I'm a big fan of fajitas, so the sizzling cast iron skillet of skirt steak and veggies with a side of warm tortillas is often my go to order at a Mexican restaurant. While I love steak fajitas, they usually take a bit more forethought than I'm able to put in after a busy work day.

That's where my ground beef fajitas recipe comes in.

We always have one pound packages of ground beef in the freezer (learn about how we buy a whole cow) which thaw pretty quickly in the microwave.

While my son will happily eat the seared bell peppers with his fajita, my daughter isn't as crazy about them. Fortunately she loves the seasoned ground beef. So I make sure she gets some veggies, and bulk up my meat, by blending chopped mushrooms with the beef.

ADDING MUSHROOMS TO GROUND BEEF

I've been blending veggies into our ground meat for years, so it made perfect sense for us to partner with the Mushroom Council and take the Blenditarian Pledge.

Cremini Mushrooms

The Blenditarian Pledge is simply choosing to integrate more mushrooms into your favorite ground meat dishes, for better flavor, better health and better sustainability.

I love that blending mushrooms with my meat adds an easy serving of veggies to the plate. Mushrooms can easily mimic meat. Just chop them to match the consistency of the meat you're pairing them with and no one will know the difference!

EASY FAJITA RECIPE WITH HOMEMADE FAJITA SAUCE

If you are already stopping by the store to get fajita recipe ingredients, you can totally buy some fajita seasoning or fajita sauce. But I also have an easy fajita sauce recipe that uses ingredients we always have on hand.

Our homemade fajita sauce uses lemon juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and a little oil. The secret ingredient is some A-1 steak sauce which adds a tangy smoky flavor.
