Tasty Tuesday: Lean Beef Fajitas

meal! It’s easy to serve healthy, flavorful fajitas when lean beef is the centerpiece! Flank steak is perfect for fajitas because it’s a great cut to marinate before grilling, and it is best served sliced thinly. Flank steak is also one of the 38 lean cuts of beef available at the meat case! Grab this recipe for Fajitas with Pico De Gallo and #LiveAFlavorfulLife.
