Beef Fajitas with Mango Salsa are the perfect main dish Mexican meal to serve to family.

You don’t have to wait for Cinco de Mayo to enjoy these Beef Fajitas. We love Mexican food in our house any day of the week and any time of year. It’s on the menu at least once a week. Beef fajitas are easy to make from scratch. You eat them just like tacos– stuffed into tortillas with all of your favorite fixings.

How to make Mango Salsa:

Mango salsa is the salsa of choice here to pair with your beef fajitas. It’s a simple mix of fresh mango, tomato, red onion, cilantro, salt and lime juice. You’ll just combine those in a bowl and let the mango salsa sit while you make the fajitas.

If you don’t think you care for mango salsa (or if you prefer to buy your salsa), that’s okay too. Just make the beef fajitas and add your own toppings.

How to make Beef Fajitas:

This recipe is so easy because there is no marinating time! Just slice some flank steak thinly and combine it with chili powder, coriander and oregano. Then you’ll stir fry the seasoned steak with onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, Worcestershire sauce and salt. That’s it. Your fajita mixture is then ready to stuff inside of tortillas!

What are the best kind of tortillas to use for fajitas?

Flour tortillas are the typical type of tortilla to use for eating your fajitas. Place them in some damp paper towels and microwave for a minute or so. Alternately, you can wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven.

Corn tortillas may be used, if you prefer them (or if you’re gluten free). I like to fry my corn tortillas. Just heat up some canola or vegetable oil in a pan and drop a tortilla in for 5 to 7 seconds to fry. Remove to paper towels to drain excess oil from the tortilla.

Additional fixing suggestions:

My family loves to add cheese, sour cream and guacamole to beef fajitas. You can also add salsa, cilantro or fresh avocado slices!
