I had a craving for Mexican food the other day, which happens quite often 🙂 I absolutely love Mexican cuisine and now my sister Catalina is living in Mexico. While talking to her last week on the phone, she told me just how wonderful true Mexican food is and of the delicious flavors. I was pretty much drooling the whole conversation.
After talking to her I decided to make one of my favorite Mexican dishes "Fajitas de Carne", and I have to say, they were absolutely fantastic! Viva Mexico and their delicious food 🙂
Buen provecho amigos!

I crave Mexican food quite often, which is strange because I never really had any until my late teens/early 20s, LOL. Those fajitas looks AMAZING!

This looks really delicious, Erica! The colors and that marinade! Yum. Not too much heat, either, which I prefer.
