Fajita Marinade and my 100th Jalapeno Post!

This year's contribution to Cinco de Mayo is a nice recipe for a Fajita Marinade, I just had to try it the day I saw it. Literally stopped at the supermarket on my way to work for a pepper and lime, already had the 'peno in the fridge... And speaking of jalapenos, this is my 100th post using those tasty little chiles in one way or another. That tickles me for some reason:@) As for this marinade, most of the comments say it has an authentic taste, this Philly Girl can't speak to that, but I did think it was very tasty, recommend it and would make it again!

 I butterflied the chicken breast before marinating it and used a flat Lodge cast iron griddle, that gave me lots of room for cooking.

Muy Bueno!
