Fajita marinade!

I ripped this fajita marinade recipe off from my friend Brittany’s blog- she got it from her mom.  So here’s Mama M’s fajita marinade- easy and healthy, and it sounds awesome!     

1 1/2 C. soy sauce
1 TBS honey
5 TBS cilantro (fresh, finely chopped)
4 cloves garlic
1/3 C Worcestershire sauce
2 TBS oil
1 1/2 C water
1/2 to 1 tsp pepper (optional)

Mix all the ingredients together. Marinade boneless chicken breasts, or beef fajita skirts for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. Cook on the grill, basting occasionally with marinade. When done (do not overcook), slice into thin strips with sharp or electric knife. Serve with sautee’d onions, bell peppers, guacamole, sour cream, tomatos, picantes, grated cheese and tortillas. These leftovers make for an AWESOME fajita salad too–sometimes the meat almost tastes better the next day (chicken especially).

Sounds like something I’ll try later in the week- here is a link to one of my favorite salsa recipes that I think I’ll try with it if I can find a mango at the market today.  Pair that with some whole wheat tortillas, fresh arugula, and some chips (this week, I’ve been mixing a cheap bag of regular tortilla chips with some low-calorie honey BBQ snack chips), and I have a pretty fun meal!
