Fajitas

My friend Andrew came over and we made some awesome Mexican food. We made steak fajitas with a bunch of onions, peppers and guac. If you have an outdoor grill, you can do this on that, but I used a grill pan on my stovetop. If you are doing it on the stove you can cut the veggies and meat into strips and cook it that way, but if you are cooking on an outdoor grill I would leave everything in large pieces and cut them after they are cooked.
