I liked the marinade. I did cut the red pepper flakes in half fearing it would be too spicy for the less spice loving family members. My problem is with the peppers and onions: the amount of salt pepper and garlic overwhelmed the veggies. I ended up finding half the salt half the pepper and roasted instead of fresh garlic yielded more subtly flavored peppers and onions.

Terrible. I feel bad I wasted the money on the steak. I prepared this recipe for Christmas Eve supper with family. You can't taste the meast at all, just the marinade. I bought good, expensive steak and it tastes awful, too much lime juice for sure. Any one who gives this 5 stars has never been to a good Mexican restaurant. This recipe is a loser. I will continue my search for a good steak fajita recipe. I won't make this again that's for sure.

These are the best fajitas I've EVER tasted! I used a splash of Crown Royal since I didn't have tequila on hand (probably not enough to affect flavor, and I didn't have any cilantro. I added a thinly sliced jalapeno to the onions, peppers, and garlic. I bought a really great cut of flank steak from Whole Foods -- pricy but worth it. I only marinated it for about 6 hours and cooked it on a cast iron griddle on my range. YUM! I served it with a side dish of black quinoa, pintos, onions, garlic, cumin, salt, lime, and salsa.

Love, love, love this dish! The marinade has the perfect amount of tang for fajitas.

The 24 hour marinade added just the right amount of flavor to the beef. Good recipe for a comfort food, family style meal with friends.

Very Good Recipe. I looked at many recipes but chose to use this recipe because growing up in Albuquerque NM, Fajitas were not uncommon but the ones I liked always had tequila and this recipe had tequila added. I have made it many times and always turns out great. I only use this recipe for Beef Fajitas and use another recipe for Chicken if I am going to make chicken fajitas. Other note is that I always grill the flank steak whole and cut after I get the desired grill temperature that I desire and of course let the meat rest for 15 min before cutting it.

great taste , I used used tequilla even thou my husband doesnt like tequilla he didnt even know it was in the recipe. I will make this again. it was wonderful. I was surprised of the taste since I am not a great fan of fajitas.It is a very easy recipe, the flank steak if you get on sale was a great deal. this meal only cost 7.50 for a family of four, with this economy I am always looking for a good meal that is not expensive meal for my family.

I made this marinade for a batch of steak and chicken fajitas i made this past weekend, the recipe was very easy to put together and used many ingredients i already had. i received so many compliments on the flavor of the meat i didnt know what to do with them all! i highly recommend this. also if your looking for a good fajitas meat skirt steak can be a little over priced these days and i actually prefer to use flap steak, at about $6 a pound its a good buy and super tender. i also recommend watching the alton brown videos on fajitas cooking, thats where i learned on how to cut the steak which is a huge part of the texture. check out emerils 2007 refried beans recipe for an excellent side dish to accompany these fajitas!

Absolutely great, try the following sour cream mix from Eating Well with those,
? 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
? 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
? Several dashes of hot sauce to taste
? 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
? 1/8 teaspoon salt
Whisk sour cream, cilantro, hot sauce, cumin and salt in a small bowl.

You will be amazed on the addition makes them even more tasty!!
