Beef Fajita Macaroni

Any quick meal is a good meal in my dictionary. This beef with broccoli is a very quick cooking meal with just a handful of ingredients. Its very adaptable as you can add onions, peppers or mushroom to your preferences. If I am using tortilla wraps to serve with it, I skip broccoli and add onions, peppers and mushrooms. Add all the vegetables if serving with rice. The spices being used are fajita combination.
