Notes
- I used Mexican seasoning I found at Woolworths, however you can totally leave it out if you can't find some. The spices I used is all you need to make Fajitas. You can ad a bit more chilli powder/chilli flakes if you wish
- You can leave out the cheese should you prefer, not everyone adds cheese
