follow-up....was really excellent, I am sure I will do tiny tweaks, like less salt, but what a great recipe. Excellent on pounded chicken breasts....which I never use for fajitas, using dark meat usually instead. Winner here, folks.

We used this again Wednesday, and it’s still great!

Doing 4lbs of Chicken, 3lbs of beef, and 1lb of smoked sausage Saturday night...can't wait. You are missing out if you haven't tried this yet.

Chew · 04-17-2021, 02:01 PM

Got 2 lbs marinading now. Can't wait.

Chew · 04-18-2021, 01:29 AM

Very good. Adobo/chipotle taste was dominant. Might cut back on that next time. Wife liked it.

gonzotexan · 09-11-2021, 10:36 AM

Made this again last night.....total winner for beef and yardbird. Best ever. Like others have said....for first-timers, back off the salt by half.....and try maybe one chipoltle pepper or two.....def wouldn't do more than that in the beginning.....YMMV....

kryptonitecj8 · 09-15-2021, 12:08 PM

Sounds Delicious.

boomer453 · 09-15-2021, 10:20 PM

said it way back when this first got posted, this is by far the best marinade for fajitas or just in general that i have ever had or used.

grilling chicken? rub some of this up under the skin before it hits the grill.

antonlsu · 09-17-2021, 03:11 PM

Trying this out tomorrow.

warrington · 09-17-2021, 03:46 PM

Anyone ever made it and froze the mix for a future use?

Nemlo · 09-18-2021, 01:21 PM

I just made some thicker cut Malinase steak cuts in this marinade and everyone who ate it complimented on it. Was so good. I cut min into thinner strips and did it over a jasmine rice, but it was legit still. The only changes I made were in amounts because I had a larger group of people and I didn't have onion powder, so I used a fresh shallot instead. Great marinade that I can now tell people it's my secret recipe.

antonlsu · 09-19-2021, 10:32 AM

Delicious, but i will cut down on the cumin for future use.

mikcop2000 · 12-06-2021, 11:17 AM

Ok I’ll try it

Casey · 12-13-2021, 09:57 AM

I made beef skirt steak and chicken breasts over the weekend with this marinade. It cannot be overstated how good this is. I tried to cut the heat back for my family but still had it a bit strong. A little less salt would improve it for me. The beef had a good hint of lime, which I like. I'm going to make this far more frequently. Both times I've done this, it's been a big hit!

Slick8 · 12-13-2021, 10:03 AM

Dang, I've been looking for something like this to try with Venison.

I have some in the fridge from my last kill that's going to get this treatment.

Drop Tine · 07-03-2022, 10:07 PM

Got 8 pounds of meat marinating in the fridge for tomorrow. These are a hit every time and you really would have to try to mess it up. I go heavy on the garlic and add a little extra lime juice.

mjl · 07-10-2022, 06:34 PM

Thanks
Delicious.

mzurovec · 08-20-2022, 02:28 PM

First time trying it, beef and chicken, really outstanding! We’ll be doing it again on the next round. Figured we’d want to tweak it a bit like most other recipes, but not sure this can be improved on. 11 years ago since this post, wish we’d have tried it sooner!

bigblock78 · 09-15-2022, 02:33 PM

sounds like it would go good on chicken thighs. thank you for sharing

stxbowhunter · 09-15-2022, 03:03 PM

mzurovec · 09-17-2022, 09:51 AM

2lbs in the marinade at 6 o'clock yesterday. Should have them done right before the Horns kick.

Hoadster604 · 09-17-2022, 03:03 PM

looks and sounds great!

I’ve made this a few times now and it’s phenomenal on chicken thighs. I like it on chicken thighs more than flank steak actually. Still great on both though.

Two pounds of beef marinated overnight....going on the traeger in a bit. Marinade smells amazing.

BCR2000 · 02-08-2023, 10:27 AM

Got my mouth watering! Sounds delicious

cshunter · 04-07-2023, 01:51 PM

Thanks will have to try.

Bowhica · 05-01-2023, 02:27 PM

I've been looking, not real hard, for a good marinade for fajitas.

Salt adjusters, how much did you cut out? Not a huge fan of salt.

I'll be direct fire cooking over some post oak.

Bowhica · 05-02-2023, 10:02 AM

Alright. I got the marinade done and soaking the meat. Cooking fajitas for taco Tuesday!! The wife and I both liked the smell and taste of the marinade.

I’ll be cooking over direct fire post oak coals.

Bowhica · 05-02-2023, 08:58 PM

Official report.
Salt perfect.
Heat perfect.
Cilantro perfect.
1 lbs of meat not enough. I used 2 lbs and I could have added another 1 lbs of meat with no issues. I added the remaining marinade to some veggies in a cast iron to sauté.

Hands down the best beef fajita I’ve ever had. Excellent job AGSFIGHT!!

I’m going to fillet open a pork loin this wknd, rub it down and roll it back up.

Looks awesome. Great on beef, but even better on chicken thighs! We love this stuff.
