The beef was so tuff and unflavored and bland how can you add hot spices and still have a bland dish? My kids refused to eat it.

Delicious! And so easy - I used the jalapenos, but skipped the onions. Like JillAZ, I also used as an OAMC recipe. I'm going to be making this often.

Forgot to rate this! I made this in my last oamc plan. Very tasty fajitas and work great to freeze in the marinade ahead of time. This has been added to my regular rotation. Yum!
