Easy Chicken Fajita Marinade Recipe | Allrecipes image

This is a simple fajita marinade that has been bounced around in my family for at least 15 years. It's simple, tasty, easily altered for a twist on the taste, and can be easily prepared in under 15 minutes. Serve with other fajita elements and enjoy! Some ideas: sauteed green bell pepper with white or yellow onions, jalapeno slaw, homemade salsa (tomato or mango), etc.

CHICKEN FAJITAS RECIPE - NYT COOKING
The ingredient that makes this marinade both spicy and sweet is adobo sauce from canned chiles in adobo, a useful sauce that I had not thought to use in marinades until I was introduced to the idea by the cookbook author and television host Pati Jinich. The sauce has enough heat, so I don’t use the canned chipotles, though you could add one if you wanted. I hold back a couple of tablespoons of the marinade and use it to finish the vegetables and deglaze the pan.

AUTHENTIC AND EASY CHICKEN FAJITAS | JUST A PINCH RECIPES
My kids' favorite meal. I make these on my BBQ with a cast iron grill insert. I fell in love with the flavor of chiles (fresh and powdered) from Hatch, NM during a trip to AZ a few years ago, and they are now the staple in all my Mexican cooking. Note this recipe is made with 'mild' chile powder and is not spicy - which works perfectly for the kids! If you have regular chile powder from the store or prefer more heat, adjust the amounts to your own tolerance. If you need a quick and fabulous Guacamole to go with this - check my recipes for the one that is always served at my house! Enjoy!!
