This is a good recipe but be careful when making it...the ingredients are not in the right order so carefully read before making. The oil is also left out of the ingredient list. I used chicken since we enjoy that more in fajitas and salsa instead of picante sauce. Reworked, this could be a good recipe. Thanks for posting!
