Tips for storing Steak Fajitas to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store steak fajitas in a shallow cover-tight container to prevent the spread of bacteria.

• Preferably cool the steak fajitas first before refrigerating to avoid raising the overall temperature of the refrigerator.

• For freezing, divide your steak fajitas into portion sizes you'll use up within a couple day. This way, you're not continuously freezing and thawing the entire batch.

• To defrost, move them from the freezer to the refrigerator and allow them to defrost overnight. Heated in a microwave or a skillet over medium heat can be used for quick defrosting.
