Ground Beef Fajitas

 

Ground Beef Fajitas

I was looking for a recipe to use a pound of ground beef that I had in the freezer that wasn't burgers, spaghetti or meatloaf. So I of course went to BudgetBytes, that's usually my main source of recipes. I hadn't seen this one before, and we literally all the ingredients so I thought....perfect!

It's super quick and easy. Instead of making the fajita seasoning, I just used 2 1/2 tbs of the Kinders fajita seasoning that we had, and I didn't have fresh lime so I just used a little bit of the bottled stuff. Oh I also warmed the tortillas in a pan and sprinkled some Monterey Jack cheese on them after because I had it to use up.

I loved it, my son said it was good and my husband just said "it was salty". Sigh. He doesn't really like anything too different, like he loves actual fajitas, but he said he'd never heard of anyone ever using ground beef for fajitas. He says it's "too cute" to make anything a bit creative. I get it, but I want to use up some stuff we already had, so I'm seeing how much cooking I can do without buying groceries. Plus honestly, I love finding and trying new recipes. I get that from my grandma, she rarely made anything twice unless it was requested. 

I would definitely make this again, and I think it would also be super good in a rice bowl or even over greens as a salad.
