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.
