FABULOUS FAJITAS

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together and place in a zip-lock bag.
• Before you put the meat in, reserve a little marinade to use at the end.(about 1/4 a cup)
• Then toss in the chicken or steak, and bell peppers and onions or if you want more marinade for the meat do not include the peppers and onions.
• Just coat them with some olive oil and salt before griling.
• Marinade for at least 4 hours, but longer if possible.
• Then grill outside on the bbq, or indoors on a skillet (cast iron is best) or grill pan.
• Use the reserved marinade from the bag to baste meat as you cook. (This is not the 1/4 cup you reserved)
• Here are some tips from Our Best Bites to help make your fajitas truly fabulous!:
• I usually double the marinade, or 1 1/2 it because I have this weird thing where I like to see my meat swimming.
• Once it's all combined, immediately reserve about 1/4 cup, and set it aside.
• I then butterfly my chicken, or pound it thinner, because that increases the marinade-to-chicken ratio!
• I toss all of the meat in the bag of marinade, but leave the peppers and onions out.
• Only reason being that I usually want all of the marinade for the meat (see above weirdness), and the veggies get a splash of it at the end with the marinade I reserved.
• But if you have enough marinade, go ahead and do the veggies too.
• I slice my onion into about 1/2 inch slices, and leave the slices in tact.
• Then I quarter the peppers.
• When they're ready to grill I toss the veggies with a little olive oil and salt and pepper if I haven't included them in the marinade
• When everything is cooked slice the meat, peppers and onions into strips
• Combine in a bowl and pour in the reserved marinade (do not use the liquid that the chicken was marinading in.
• Serve with tortillas (I used the uncooked tortillas from Costco and cook them up fresh!)
