Italian dressing in a citrusy Mexican fajita marinade sounds unusual but yields tender and flavorful fajita meat.

  1. Mel REVIEW:

    Definitely use lemon juice instead of lime, as that's what is most common in Mexican cooking, not lemon juice and you'll get better flavor. I was unsure about the italian dressing but it actually did work well in this. The beef was very tender and it grilled nicely for the fajitas.

  2. travelnancy REVIEW:

    After using this marinade, it's probably the best fajita I have ever had.
