These fajitas are protein-packed and feature skirt steak, meaty mushrooms, and sweet onions. Lime juice helps tenderize the steak, and the fajita seasoning adds just the right amount of spice. Ready in about 30 minutes, these are perfect for a healthy weeknight meal.

Quick Tip: You can also omit the tortillas and add the fillings to a bowl along with 1 cup fresh baby spinach and 1⁄2 cup cooked white rice. The macros will be the same.
