Fabulous Fajitas

Okay, I haven’t tried very many fajita recipes, but of the ones I have tried this is THE best one!  I subscribe to Taste of Home magazine and found this on their website.  www.tasteofhome.com.  What I did different:  Instead of just a green pepper I used frozen peppers (yellow, red and green); it’s a fajita mix.   I also used very little red pepper flakes as my husband and I aren’t big fans of spicy foods and I wanted it a little more kid friendly!
