Love this recipe! I used 1/2 lime juice and 1/2 lemon. I will cut back on the seasoning salt a bit as I thought it was a little too salty. I'm making it tonight for the second time!

Excellent! Couldn't be easier to make. I used olive oil but otherwise followed the directions exactly. The smell was divine & they didn't let us down at the table. I prepped everything first, including the lettuce & tomatoes, then just tossed in the onion & peppers when the time came. Super easy! Thanks for another awesome recipe, Keeper! Made & enjoyed for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef. You've been adopted! :) http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

These were restaurant quality fajitas! I used olive oil instead of cooking oil, low-carb tortillas, and reduced fat cheese. Very yummy. DH & I both loved - thanks for sharing! :-)
