I squeeze at *least* 3 limes (or lemons if I'm desperate and that's all I have on hand) and use about 1/4 cup 'W' sauce. That's it!! The lime itself gives a lovely flavor.
Put the juice, 'W' sauce, and sliced meat in a baggie and squish it all together and squeeze the air out.
Lay it flat on the counter and turn it over several times to redistribute the marinade during the 30-45 mins. when I'm washing and slicing and browning/sautéing (no marinade) the peppers/onions, making the salsa, laying out the dishes, etc.
IF I'm cooking on the grill -- which I rarely have the chance to do any more now that I'm alone -- then I do brush with marinade during the first part of the cooking. I stop basting with the marinade from the baggie in time to allow the meat and the wetness on it to be safely "done". Cooking really does not take long!
I serve this with Mission brand flour tortillas, a light spread of sour cream, lots of sauteed (no marinade) peppers and onions, several strips of the meat, spoonsful of salsa, sprinkle of salt, some grated “taco-style” cheese for those who want it (yuck on mine!), and plentiful napkins and beer!
I love food that’s fun to eat….like tacos, spaghetti, watermelon, pizza, fried chicken, ribs, fajitas……messy and fun!!
Somewhere on this site is my salsa recipe, but I admit it is not made with fresh-from-the-garden ingredients, though it is not cooked. Maybe we can convince Daisy Dew to give us hers!
Jan in VA -- heading to the freezer to pull out the fajita meat right now!!
