Cumin Citrus Fajitas

BBQ season is quickly approaching and the excitement has me craving the flavors of summer.

I love grilling!  Grilling means school is out for the summer, less day to day rush and plenty of time outdoors.

Spending time outside in the fresh air, the warm sun, kids playing and the adults gathered around the grill.  Grilling evokes low key, relaxed cooking and family time.   As the temperature rises our grilling takes on a summer spin. Light, easy and exploding with flavor. Fuss free grilling is possible with a bit of planning.  Marinate your meat and veggies overnight for one less step the day of grilling.  Toss a big salad and serve with plenty of fresh cut fruit and colorful pitchers of your favorite summer beverage.

 

 

These fajitas are quick to pull together.  Stash in your fridge until your ready to grill and dinner is done!

Citrus combines with cumin and cilantro to give your fajitas a light marinade. Grill, slice and serve. Enjoy!
