Salsa Verde Steak Fajitas
Salsa Verde Steak Fajitas made on the grill are a delicious dinner for taco night or a weekend cookout. Salsa verde adds a tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with grilled steak and vegetables.
We are switching up our classic Fajita Marinade with salsa verde and the results were amazing. Next to Smoked Brisket Tacos, fajitas are our favorite Tex-Mex dinner.
Skirt steak or flank steak are probably the most popular cuts of beef for fajitas but we love to make them with sirloin steak. It turns out tender, juicy and flavorful every single time.
