Chicken Breasts Marinade for Fajitas?

I use Stubb’s citrus and onion. Overnight in the fridge then grill, makes great fajitas. My neighbor uses Italian dressing with a couple limes squeezed in and her fajitas come out great too.

Great marinades. Also Alegro has a fajita marinade. If you want to go traditional you need some achiote paste

From Hornfans recipe collection:

Fajita Marinade

I've got a great one that I use for big tailgates and cookouts. For each two pounds:

2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Lightly cover with:
chili powder
cayenne pepper (ground)
black pepper

Squeeze a lime while cooking or when taken off the grill.

I always make my own and let it sit for at least three hours

I still like Claude's for chicken or beef fajitas.

Claudes is the best

yeah I was actually thinking of that one. It’s really good

I prefer this to fajita marinade for chicken. It is more Mexican than Tex-Mex……..



But here is my home made fajita marinade for beef and chicken……

1 cup orange juice or - 2 TBS Orange Juice Concentrate+ cup water
1/2 cup veg oil
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2-3 cloves of garlic sliced thin
2 TBS Kosher Salt
1 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1 1/3 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
3/4 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Onion Powder

3 pounds chicken or whole skirt/ flank steak

Take a gallon zip lock bag, and place inside and over the edge of a small saucepan, as you would place a trash bag in a trash can. Add all ingredients into bag. Seal bag and shake well to combine ingredients. Add meat, seal, and shake well again. Place bag in fridge and marinate 4-8 hours for chicken, overnight for beef. Agitate/ flip the bag a couple of times during the marinade. I like to put the bag into a pan that forces the marinade to cover the meat, versus just laying it on a flat pan.

Thanks everyone for the recs and recipes. Rolled with Stubbs mainly over convenience. It was good. No problems but will likely try others in the future.
