Re: (...)
This was from issue No. 69. and we had it last night and loved it. It was too cold to grill, so I the veggies and pan seared the steak. The only thing I felt it needed was MORE mole flavor. I think I would use Jean's Mole Sauce as an added condiment for the meat. All the flavors worked really well together. This is my new Fajita recipe!

Oops I missed a word. It should read, "I roasted the veggies..."
