Don’s Fajitas

Everybody gets to play a part in dinner preparations tonight! As I’ve said on previous occasions, fajitas just taste better when everyone gets to build their own. This is an easy and delightful way for family and friends to enjoy an evening meal!

This fajita celebration will be even more special when you make your own condiments.
