I made this dish pretty much as directed with the following exceptions and it turned out great! I was a little heavy handed with the spice and garlic and onion powders - maybe 10% to 20% more than called for. I used about two tablespoons of Pico Pica Hot Sauce instead of the "dash of hot sauce" called for. I cut the breast meat into strips before marinade and let it sit in the fridge for about 3 hours. I then went down to Williams-Sonoma and bought a grilling basket - this one had a lid (go to their web site to check them out. I tossed the onions and bell peppers in the two Tbs of oil with salt and pepper. I cooked the veggies in the grilling basket, while tossing with tongs, over a hot, direct heat charcol fire until just tender and then into a bowl for later use. I then cooked the chicken in the basket for about 8 minutes while tossing with tongs. The veggies were then added to the chicken and tossed to heat everything up. Man-O-Man, did this technique work great! The smokey flavor of the dish made it taste like an authenic Mexican cantina experience. Definately make the guacamole and put a sqeeze of lime and your favorite hot sauce on the assembled fajitas and you will love this.

I was looking for a quick marinade for chicken. My son had to go to baseball practice in 45 minutes so I needed something quick. I decided to make tacos with chicken breasts and half a large package of corn tortillas I had left over. I thinly sliced the chicken and while I was chopping the taco toppings I marinated the chicken. Rather than grill the chicken I browned it in a little bit of vegetable oil. Everyone liked the flavor. It would have been really good with the sauteed onion and peppers. Next time I'll try making it as fajitas.

This is the best recipe I have found so far. I let it set over nite and the flavor of the is great, my husband thinks it's better than a mexcian restaurant by far. We use skirt steak and pound it a little and that's it till you throw it on a grill.

My husband and I made this recipe together the other night using chicken breasts. I have never cooked fajitas before, so I was a little nervous trying it for the first time. The fajitas were incredibly easy to make. We followed the recipe, and they came out beautiful and delicious!! I will most definitely be making these again! Thanks Paula and food network staff!! Wonderful recipe!!=

I made this for recipe for dinner last night, it was very easy to make and delicious. I added my own twist to it and excluded the shrimp (not a big seafood person I added extra cumin and other spices because I like a lot of flavor and spice, I wouldn't imagine it to be as flavorful if you use just the amounts listed in the menu. Topped off with sour cream, cheese and guacamole. Due to the ease, I find it to be a good weekday recipe. Will definitely be cooking it up again! Thanks Paula!! :

This recipe wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't make it again. Our guests seemed to really like it, but we're use to much more flavor in the fajita marinade. I tried this because I wanted to experiment with the shrimp recipe, thinking the one I usually use might not be the best one for shrimp fajitas. It just didn't have much flavor at all.

Just so SO good. I really am not a fan of cooking although I do love watching other people do it. I also dislike thinking of what to cook equally as much. The other night my boyfriend asked me to make fajitas so I Googled it and came across this recipe. Not many recipes get 5 stars across the board. I had most of the stuff on hand and read the comments of a few people and added some fresh cilantro to the marinade and changed out the lemon for lime (I love lime. I didn't think 30 minutes was enough to really make a difference but boy was I wrong. This dish was BEYOND easy and it tasted better than any fajitas I have had in a restaurant. They were so amazing that no words were spoken throughout the entire meal. We stuffed our faces. It did not feed 8! It only fed two piggies for two nights in a row.
