August 23, 2016 by Dinner Tonight

In the upcoming weeks one of the greatest seasons of the year will be starting…football season! Which means friends, family, and of course food! Here is a simple and healthy beef fajita recipe to help keep your tailgate or backyard watching party safe and healthy.

By making your own fajita seasoning you can control how much sodium actually makes it into your food, and grilling your vegetables over an open flame gives them a unique flavor without adding calories!
