Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Very good recipe, best chicken fajita marinade I've found on the web so far. I added a diced jalapeno to the marinade and a couple sliced jalapenos to the pepper/onion mix. I highly recommend that if you like a moderate to high amount of spice.
