Steak Fajita Sandwich with Caramelized Onions, Mushrooms, and Peppers

Fajita Mama!

You already know after yesterdays BYOB, about my move, and the need to cook food this week that is quick, fast, and doesn't require the use of all my packed pots. 
 

I purchased some thin sirloin steaks, and marinated them in olive oil, Mexican chili powder and oregano, added a little cayenne for heat, and a little garlic powder, black pepper and creole seasoning. 

After cooking the steak in a little butter and olive oil, just a little butter, I promise, I sauteed my vegetables in the steak juice, yep, that is what makes this steak fajita sandwich so good. Although baby girl didn't get the meat, she had the flavor, when I made her veggie melt with these nice caramelized peppers and onions. I told you about her Vegan ways when I created her Gouda Veggie Melt.
 

 I know what your thinking, this looks so good, it makes you want to lick the computer screen, lol...

 Here's another view, just in case you missed it!
