How to Make Fajita Marinade

  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine all marinade ingredients.
  2. Add 1-2 pounds of thinly sliced beef sirloin or boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bag.
  3. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the meat from the marinade and cook to your desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes per side for chicken and 4-6 minutes per side for beef, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for chicken and 145°F (63°C) for beef.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite fajita toppings!
