Every time I go to a Mexican restaurant, I play this little game called “I’ll pretend like I’ll consider ordering something that isn’t fajitas, only to end up ordering fajitas.” It’s pretty fun.

All jokes aside, I love fajitas and do order them anytime I’m at a Mexican restaurant. I love how satisfying they are, how simple the ingredients are, and there’s just something really fun about assembling them myself. Recently, I realized I have never actually tried making fajitas at home and needed to change that ASAP.

Now for a little real-talk alongside our fajitas. Over the last few months, I have been thinking a lot about food blogging and recipe sharing, and whether me doing it truly adds any value. While I feel confident in my cooking abilities and my ability to take a pretty photo of my plate, often times blogging about food feels like shouting in a loud crowded room. I love to cook, but my eats are usually super simple and are hardly earth-shattering when it comes to creativity. I enjoy photographing food, but I like to keep things simple because I don’t have hours upon hours to spend styling sophisticated photos. When there are thousands (millions?) of bloggers out there with more creative recipes, prettier and elaborate photos than mine and more followers than I have, what’s the point?

Last week, I answered my own question while chatting with Christina and Nina during an interview for their Actually Adultish podcast (which you should totally listen to if you haven’t already!). The platform that I have created is all about making healthy eating simple and attainable. I want to inspire people and teach them they don’t need to spend a ton of money on crazy ingredients or spend hours in the kitchen everyday cooking elaborate meals to be healthy. That’s my “why” (or at least a big part of it). That’s what makes me feel like even though I may be shouting in an already loud or crowded room, someone is out there listening and benefitting from what I have to share.

So with that said, I invite you to enjoy these fajitas. Yes, there are a million fajita recipes on the internet, but this is how I like to make them. I wrapped mine in Siete Foods Almond Flour Tortillas, which I’m currently obsessed with, but you can wrap them in whatever you would like. These fajitas are ridiculously easy to make (exactly how I like it), made with wholesome ingredients you can feel good about eating, and still pair nicely with a margarita on the side if you feel so inclined. Because hey, balance.
