Easy Steak Fajitas

Homemade fajita seasoning with steak, bell peppers, and red onion for an amazing and easy recipe!

I have been looking for a really solid fajita recipe for years. I’ve made plenty of absolutely delicious recipes but I’ve been chasing something closer to the favorite. The favorite being the Kroger fajita seasoning packet to make steak fajitas. My MIL used to send the packets to New York when we lived there because unfortunately nothing came close and there was not a Kroger to go to. This is probably the very closest I’ve gotten to replicating the Kroger mix and we really loved it. I usually only make fajitas with green bell and yellow onion, but this had the tricolor peppers with red onion and it was so good! I’ve always eaten my steak fajitas with sour cream and cheddar cheese so don’t mind the addition there to a traditional fajita!
