Fajitas are a favorite in my family for so many reasons. They are incredibly easy to make, require only a few ingredients, and can be customized to fit everyone’s tastes. That’s why I love making this Family-Friendly Cast Iron Skillet Fajitas recipe. It’s a great way to get everyone around the table and the meal can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Plus, the cast iron skillet ensures that the flavors will blend together perfectly.
The secret to this recipe is marinating the chicken before cooking. I like to let it sit in a mixture of lime juice, oil, garlic, and cumin for a few hours before cooking. This results in juicy, flavorful chicken that pairs perfectly with the bell peppers. I also like to add a little bit of chili powder for a little kick. To make the fajitas even better, I like to serve them with a side of sour cream and guacamole.
My family loves this recipe, and it’s always a hit when I make it for parties or gatherings. It’s a great way to bring people together over a delicious meal and it’s sure to please everyone. So, if you’re looking for a quick, easy, and family-friendly meal, give this Family-Friendly Cast Iron Skillet Fajitas recipe a try.
Tips:
- For a spicier version, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- For a sweeter version, add 1/4 cup of honey to the marinade.
- If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet instead.
- If you don’t want to use chicken, you can use steak instead.
