These make ahead beef fajitas are an easy freezer meal to put together. You can serve the fajitas with guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, and sour cream.I buy the beef already sliced into stir fry strips to save time, but you can also buy any tender beef (such as sirloin, top loin, tenderloin, or rib eye) and slice it yourself to save money. The assembly of this recipe is so fast once you have the peppers and onions sliced that it makes the most sense to make two or four meals at a time. Just open the bags on the counter and dump the ingredients in.
