In a fajita rut? Try adding some sweet and savory flavors with this Korean Fajita (campfire not necessary). This past weekend I went camping in a large group. To make meals less stressful we decided to split into smaller groups and each prep one meal. My go too meal for camping has always been fajitas. It’s simple, travels easy and can be prepped ahead of time.
