My kids hate onions and peppers, but they LOVE these fajitas. Pita breads, where available, can be substituted for tortillas.

Tips
- Use a sharp knife to cut the meat against the grain. This will help it cook more evenly and tender.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're cooking a lot of fajitas, cook them in batches so that they don't steam.
- Cook the fajitas until they're just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough.
- Let the fajitas rest for a few minutes before slicing them. This will help them retain their juices.
- Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
