Beef or Chicken Fajitas image

I developed this marinade for fajitas when the local grocery store quite carrying my favorite marinade. The longer you marinade, the better they are! I have never measured my ingredients, I just dump and taste. Ingredient measurements may be changed to suite taste.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups water
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 dried chipotle chile
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons cilantro (fresh is great!)
2 lbs steak or 2 lbs chuck roast
green pepper, as many as desired
onion, as many as desired

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients, set aside 1/4 cup. Marinade chicken or steak at least 3 hours in remaining marinade (the longer you marinade, the better the flavor).
  • Heat the barbecue grill! Grill your meat until tender (don't overcook, meat will be dry). When the meat is done, slice into desired sized pieces for your fajitas.
  • Slice green peppers and onions into desired sized pieces and place in a sheet of alumumin foil that is large enough to wrap your veggies in, add remaining marinade. Wrap up tightly in foil and place on grill. Cook until tender (20-30 min.).
  • Serve with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, salsa, cheese, anything your heart desires!
  • I found that fresh pico de gallo works great.
  • Pico De Gallo.
  • 4 fresh tomatoes, diced.
  • 2-3 jalpenos (to suite your taste), diced, remove seeds except for one.
  • 1/2-1 onion, diced.
