I really like Mexican food (ok, I’m obsessed with it!) and so do my kids. A lot of my favorite meals have a Mexican theme, and this steak fajita salad is one of my all-time favorites! It is really easy to make and can transform leftover beef (almost any cut) into a stellar meal.

This salad is great for dinner or lunch (I’ve even had it for breakfast!) or as a to-go meal (just stick everything in a big container and toss with salsa before eating).

I’ve also found that making this as a mason jar salad is a great way to bring it along for a meal on the go. To do this, layer the cooked meat and vegetables at the bottom, then add any toppings like cheese or sour cream (if using) and then the lettuce and mixed greens.

I typically make several days worth of these salads in mason jars and keep in the refrigerator for simple lunches on busy days. Everything stays fresh and crisp and delicious as long as you layer correctly, keeping the meat and salsa on the bottom.

If you’re also a fan of Mexican food, try these simple homemade versions that are staples in our home:

  • Crock Pot Chicken Fajita Meat
  • Fajita Chicken Salad
  • Cumin Taco Scramble
  • Huevos Rancheros (Mexican ranch-style eggs for breakfast? Yes please!)
  • Chipotle Style Burrito Bowls 

I’ve also found that making my own taco seasoning and fajita seasoning is a simple way to save money and avoid the additives, MSG, and other unnecessary chemicals in store bought seasonings. It’s also really nice to always have these on hand when I need them and easily add them to omelets, stir frys, and casseroles to add flavor and nutrients to any recipe.
