    This was wonderful! I did not cook the potato at all. I also did not add the marinade to the onions and peppers, but I will next time. I did use about half the seeds that were in the jalapeños...for an extra kick!

    Delicious! Even though I love cilantro, I tasted the marinade before I put it on the chicken and thought it was too much. But when these were done and put all together they were the best fajita's I've ever had. Incredible. I skipped the potatoes and used 3 peppers and 3 onions, which was necessary.
