A sweet & spicy twist on fajitas!

Fajitas - sizzling strips of meat, onions, and bell peppers tucked into soft tortillas - is one of those versatile Mexican dishes easily adaptable to any mood or dietary preference. Pescatarian? Replace meat with fish or shrimp. Veggie? Grill a garden full, then add beans for a plant-based meal. Or, if you're anything like me, just stick with the meat and add heat! My twist layers on cayenne pepper, jalapeños, and chili powder for a major kick, then balances it out with sweet chili sauce (c’mon, you know you love it!). I char the flour tortillas over an open flame for a few seconds on each side to get those beautiful blackened bits, which adds a little smoky flavor too. These are great for Taco Tuesday - or any day honestly!
