SIZZLING TEX-MEX FAJITAS

Sizzling Tex-Mex Fajitas image

My family likes garlic, so I dreamed up this delicious marinade for our summer fajita dinners. The marinade needs eight hours to work its magic, but it's even better if the steak marinates overnight. Try it on chicken breasts, too.-Karyn "Kiki" Power, Arlington, Texas
