    Fajitas are awesome and super easy to make and can be healthy when done at home, I eat them almost weekly!

    El Paso makes a fajita seasoning pack if you don't want to use taco seasoning. Also if you have a safeway look for their offbrand fajita seasoning packet, I like that the best out of all the ones I have tried!

    "Almost instant"? That sounds like a basic fajitas recipe. Yummy, but I don't see how it's any quicker.
