You can make your own Delicious Fajitas
with this Fajita Marinade Recipe
We love this Fajita Marinade Recipe. It's one of our favorites for chicken. The flavors of lime, onions, garlic and herbs come together to make a zesty treat for your taste buds.
Marinating the chicken is the first step. Use skinless boneless breast and using a knife, slice diagonal cuts into them so the marinade can get all through the meat.
Your chicken should soak over night so that the flavors fully sink in. You can put everything into a glass bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or put it all into a one gallon zip top plastic bag.
The second step is either grilling or pan frying the chicken and sauteing the onions and bell peppers. The rest of the ingredients for building your fajita include:
Tortillas, Shredded Cheese, Shredded Lettuce, Sour Cream, Salsa and Guacamole.
