Tuesday Thyme: Tri-Tip Fajitas

We are big fans of fajitas so this one was definitely a hit. I loved that it had avocado in it to give it a fresh kick. I just love everything with avocado. You can freeze the sliced onions and bell pepper to make a quicker prep time next time you make this. And you will make this a next time.
