EASY CHICKEN FAJITA MARINADE RECIPE | ALLRECIPES



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.
