Grapefruit Marinated Fajitas

Grapefruit Marinated Fajitas

For your next home cooked Mexican meal, don’t forget fajitas.
By Brady Evans

I always forget fajitas exist.  They aren’t something I order in a restaurant.  When we go Mexican at home it is usually burritos or enchiladas.

I think this recipe will never let me forget fajitas exist.  It burned its flavors deep into my psyche.  I was drawn to this recipe because it used cube steak.  I categorize cube steak with brown gravy, white rice, and lima beans.  It is a cut of meat that is always on sale at the grocery store but I’m never able to pick it up because I simply don’t know what to do with it.

Clearly, that won’t be a problem anymore.
