BEST CHICKEN OR STEAK FAJITAS EVER!



Best Chicken or Steak Fajitas Ever! image

I am a big-time fajita lover and these really are the best! They come from Rachel Ray's cookbook (which I highly reccomend - 30 min. meals). If you dont like spicy, dont be alarmed, just lower the hot sauce and leave out the jalepeno - you dont want to miss this recipe!
