For National Fajita Day, Elizabeth Van Lierde’s “Chipotle Mezcal Steak Fajitas” recipe is a must-try.

“If you’re looking for a casual date night where you can still turn up the heat, head to the grill. One of my favorite ways to spice up dinner at home is to simply take things outside. Light a few candles on your patio or balcony and grill up these fiery mezcal-marinated steak fajitas,” Van Lierde writes in her book, Everyday Entertaining: 110+ Recipes for Going All Out When You’re Staying In. 

She continues, “Tender skirt steak marinated in a rich mezcal-citrus blend, charred to perfection, and served alongside all of the classic fajita accoutrements.”
