Commonly Asked Questions

Can I Use Chicken Instead of Steak?

The recipe is specifically designed for steak, which has its own unique flavors and texture. If you want a chicken fajita rice bowl, the seasoning and cooking time may vary.

How Long Can I Keep It in the Fridge?

Stored properly in an airtight container, it should last for about 3 days. However, it’s so tasty that it’s unlikely to last that long!

Can I Make It Spicier?

The recipe is tailored for a balanced flavor, but if you like it hot, feel free to add some hot sauce or sliced jalapeños on top.

Do I Have to Use a Grill?

While grilling gives the steak a smoky flavor and beautiful grill marks, you can also cook the steak on a stovetop griddle if you don’t have access to a grill.
