Ingredients for Awesome Fajita Marinade
- 1/2 cup lime juice (about 3-4 limes)
- Salad Oil
- Minced Garlic Cloves
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh Ground Pepper
How to Make Awesome Fajita Marinade
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add the beef or chicken to a gallon-sized zip-top bag.
- Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag, removing excess air.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the meat for approximately 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on thickness and desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches a safe internal temperature.
- Slice the grilled meat against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite fajita toppings.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
