Are you sifting through cookbooks and websites trying to find the perfect recipe for Dad? A dish you can easily make with your kids that you know will feel special and meet all of his culinary dreams? Look no further! Skirt Steak Fajitas are exactly what you’ve been waiting for!

Skirt Steak is one of our all time favorite proteins to marinade with tons of lime and cilantro and then sauté or toss on the grill. I rarely meet anyone who doesn’t love fajitas so it’s a satisfying recipe especially when you’re feeding a crowd. Since fajitas are basically a DIY meal they’re really fun for everyone to put together on their own.

While my husband likes just about everything under the sun in his steak fajita, Chloe wants tons of guacamole and black beans and Kenya’s more of a pico de gallo and sour cream man.

Any other herb you love would be great, just know that it will definitely affect the flavor of the dish!
think it would work to substitute cilantro with some other herb? we have someone with severe cilantro aversion in our family….
thank you!
