Aldi always impresses me with their products and their grass fed steaks and pizza dough are two products I get there every month. Aldi has some pretty amazing grass fed steak and beef that comes in a package of two and I used that to make these steaks. I guarantee you, if you love shopping at Aldi like me you can even find all these ingredients there to make a cheap dinner with.

What to Serve with Steak Fajitas
Steak fajitas are a delightful and flavorful dish on their own, but pairing them with the right sides can elevate your meal to the next level. Here are some delicious options to complement your steak fajitas:
Mexican Rice A classic side dish, Mexican rice is a flavorful blend of rice, tomatoes, onions, and spices. Its savory taste pairs perfectly with the rich flavors of steak fajitas.
Refried Beans Creamy and smooth, refried beans are a staple in Tex-Mex cuisine. They provide a comforting, hearty addition that balances the spiciness of the fajitas.
Chips and Salsa Nothing beats a classic combo of crispy tortilla chips and fresh salsa. Consider offering a variety of salsas, such as pico de gallo, mango salsa, or roasted tomato salsa, to appeal to different tastes.
Guacamole Creamy, zesty guacamole is always a crowd-pleaser. Its rich texture and tangy flavor pair well with the spices in the fajitas.
Smoked Queso Dip A warm, cheesy queso dip with jalapeños or chorizo can be a deliciously indulgent side that complements the savory steak.
