I use flank steak instead. Marinate steak whole with all of Ortega Fajita Seasoning packet except for 1 tbsp. for later use. Rub in just enough e.v.o.o. until a thick paste forms and evenly coats it. Allow meat to come to room temperature. Chop 1 lg. green pepper, 1 lg. red pepper and 1 med. onion. Set aside chopped onion. Use a whole package of Oscar Mayer Thick Cut bacon and slice into about 1/3" pieces. Fry until brown and crisp then drain. Pour out extra fat until just the bottom is covered. Add onion and 2 or more tbsp. of h2o to deglaze pan. Once onions are transparent add peppers along with rest of fajita seasoning. Cook until veggies are soft. Take off heat and snip with kitchen scissors 2 tbsp. of fresh chives along with bacon and stir. Cover in serving bowl to keep warm. Grill your steak medium rare. Both sides should be seared with grill marks. Every grill is different, so you will have to be the judge on that part. Rest steak for 8 to 10 min. then divide meat evenly by cutting with the grain into three long strips. Then cut across the grain with the carving knife at a slight angle into thin strips. Place meat in bowl along with any juices and toss. Cover to keep hot. To serve use big warm tortillas. Place finely shredded cheese on bottom, then meat. Bacon mixture next along with choice of tomatoes,jalapenos,lettuce,sour cream and/or taco sauce. Serve with Spanish rice and Ortega refried beans. Don't forget the beer! Try it this way and you will love this recipe.

This recipe was a big hit with my family. I combined instructions from the actual recipe and advice from CHEFBAUER's review. Especially the slicing of the meat after cooking. I cooked the steak in the broiler for 10 minutes each side. The added bacon really helps these fajitas stand apart. This will be my main recipes for fajitas from now on.

This was a sad experience. I haven't made anything this bad in a very long time. Did everything as the recipe directed. Am basically clueless when it comes to cuts of meat, so I asked the butcher whether it needed to be cut across the grain and was told no. Don't know if this was the problem, but I'll NEVER buy "skirt steak" ever again. The meat was like chewing on a tire and there was no flavor to the entire dish. Very disappointed in this recipe, but I'm also willing to admit that there could have been operator error! Won't make this ever again. Sorry!

This was excellent! The flavors blended perfectly and it was very easy to prepare. My two finicky sons LOVED it!

YUMMY...BUT I USED CHICKEN INSTEAD OF BEEF...I REALLY LOVED THE BACON IN THESE..ADD A LITTLE SALSA AND SOUR CREAM..WHAT A TREAT.

This was really good. My husband loved it and so did my friends!

This recipe was very good. I will make again. I didn't have the fresh cilantro but it was still good.

Tastes great! No variations needed.

Scaled this down, used a strip steak (Angel Food Ministries) to cut up and had a wonderful meal for two. I used salsa on the side instead of the tomatoes. Excellent and quick.

I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. Modifications I made: I put a bit of oil on the tortillas, along with some roast garlic & sea salt, put the mixture on the tortillas and grated the cheese on top. I put these under the broiler until the cheese was melted and the tortillas were a bit crisp Delicious. I would make this once a week.
