Steak fajita roll ups are fun and festive for the whole family and look extra special sautéed with bright colored bell peppers and fresh asparagus seasoned with my homemade fajita seasoning then rolled up in the flank steak. This makes for a light and delicious dinner!
Steak fajitas are the perfect combination for a fun Mexican meal. These Amazing Steak Fajitas or these Grilled Steak Fajita Skewers with Avocado Chimichurri have the same homemade fajita seasoning that is mouth-watering, good! I also love this quick air fryer version of my Chicken Fajitas, it’s so quick and full of amazing flavor!
Steak Fajitas Roll Ups
Sizzle your way into this steak fajita recipe! These roll ups are just perfect for a light meal or a quick. I love how easily these are made and come together so quickly on a busy night. They seriously take less than 20 minutes! The best part is, you get SO much flavor packed in this meal without tortillas or even guacamole (although you can totally add those, they are amazing with this too!)
This recipe is so simple I wouldn’t be surprised if it became your new favorite! I added my favorite homemade fajita seasoning, which is super easy to whip up and is made from spices you probably already have in your pantry. You will use a flank steak, which is already thin but pounding it to be a bit thinner helps it cook evenly in the skillet. These fajita roll ups are the perfect dinner completing it with some white or Mexican Rice! Your family will absolutely love these and beg for more.
