The chimichurri makes these fajitas a star! I agree with others to cut back on the amount of salt. I only used 1.5 tsp in the recipe and allowed the steaks to soak it in for five hours. REALLY GOOD!

These were very tasty. I made them for a party and everyone loved them. I modified some ingredients that were not available. I used red wine vinegar instead of the sherry vinegar and regular paprika instead of the spicy. I added a pinch of cayenne to add some spice. I also used 1 tsp of salt instead of 1 tbsp after reading previous reviews. It was plenty of salt. I will make this recipe again.

Delicious! I have lived in the border town of Laredo, Texas for two years, and it seems like everyone has their own recipe for great fajita. I think I have just found mine!
