Celebrate Cinco De Mayo with Easy Beef Fajitas from Taste of Home

When I was younger before I had a family and responsibilities, I would go out and celebrate Cinco De Mayo till the wee hours of the morning.  (It was easier to fit a siesta in back then).  Now, I have to find other ways to enjoy the day.  The whole family loves fajitas and with this recipe from Taste of Home it's an easy and quick meal.  OLE'
