This zesty fajita marinade is perfect for infusing your meats with bold flavors, making your fajitas irresistible.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Mincing garlic releases its oils, enhancing the flavor of the marinade.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, salt, ground cumin, chili powder, and red pepper flakes.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Juice the lime and add the juice to the bowl along with the olive oil. Whisk until well combined.
Using fresh lime juice adds a vibrant tanginess to the marinade.
Place your choice of protein (beef or chicken) in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage to coat evenly.
Marinating in a sealed bag ensures the meat is evenly coated and absorbs the flavors.
Refrigerate the marinated protein for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Longer marination times allow the flavors to penetrate deeper into the meat.
Cook the marinated protein on a grill or stovetop pan until fully cooked.
Cooking over high heat creates a nice char, enhancing the flavor of the fajitas.
Serve the cooked protein with your favorite fajita accompaniments, such as tortillas, sautéed peppers, and onions.
Warm the tortillas before serving for a better texture and taste.
