Steak Fajita Quesadillas combines the wealthy, meaty taste of a steak with the colourful colours and daring flavors of fajita greens, all wrapped up in crispy, tacky tortillas.

They’re so dang good.
My FAVORITE THING this week is that this $4 hair treatment.

It solely takes a couple of minutes and it WORKS. My hair has by no means been happier.
