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.
