Flavorful skirt steak, sweet onions, and bell peppers are simply grilled and served inside flour tortillas in this easy recipe. If you make the fajitas in a stovetop grill pan in the winter, try a sweet onion from South America like Oso Sweet from Chile or Mayan Sweet from Peru instead of spring-season Vidalias.
