This Steak Fajita Skillet is so easy and good. It's super cheesy and made in under 30 minutes! "Fajita" literally translates to "little skirts" or "little bands.The key is to not trim off too much of the fat that covers one side of the steak. They'll melt into the cracks as the meat cooks, making each bite juicier and tastier.
