Cook's Notes:

I have used this on beef also, and it has turned out tasty!

The longer the meat marinates, the more tender the meat and more robust the flavor.

Very nice marinade for fajitas. I made this with beef and marinated for 6 hours or so. I would probably double the cumin next time I made it but otherwise I'd leave it as is. I think this would have been even better with chicken. Read More

I was so excited to try this- and I am pretty disappointed. I marinated chicken and bottom round for about 10 hours. (Not together). I added cilantro. There wasn't anything really wrong with it. The chicken was better than the beef. But that's it. It was OK. Surely there is a better fajita marinade out there. Read More

I omitted the beef broth as we are on a special diet and it still turned out fabulous. My family raved and raved about this marinade. Read More

Perfect recipe. I marinated four pounds of chicken tenders for two hours. Then cooked in skillet for five minutes each side. FANTASTIC flavor! Read More

I used this on chicken and it was great! I had this in the marinade for about 5 hrs. and will shoot for longer next time and maybe add a touch of salt as well. Thanks Kitkat:) Read More

Yum! I left out the water and bouillon paste and marinated my sirloin steak for about 4 hours. Much better than my local Tex-Mex place! Read More

This is amazing!! I was having a big group of people so I made this the night before and marinated chicken and beef. The only thing I did different was for one of them I used lemon juice instead of lime (ran out of lime juice) and with the chicken I added fresh cilantro (coriander). With the cilantro it just made it that much better!!! My go to marinade for fajitas for now on for sure!! Read More

this came out really good.. used this on three 8 oz chicken breasts.. i marinated for about 8 hours but think it could have used more time.. i left out the water and used maybe a quarter of the oil.. i was using light soy sauce so i upped it to one tablespoon.. i doubled the chili powder and the cumin.. subbed 1/2 a cube of beef bouillon for the paste and used about 1/4 tsp for the pinch of onion powder.. i felt like the oregano was a bit overpowering but i was using mexican oregano so maybe that's why.. we really liked the dish and would love to see how it would turn out with a longer marinate time.. ty for the recipe Read More

This is delicious! It makes the flank steak I used so tender and flavorful after only an hour or two of marinating. I omitted the vinegar onion powder and beef bouillon. And all the spices I just eyeballed it - didn't measure. One whole good sized lime provided the perfect amount of juice. Its so good definitely 5 stars. Read More
