I found this recipe years ago when I visited the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. The book is called Simple Southwestern Cooking. I use this recipe whenever I make beef fajitas. I've altered it a bit for making chicken fajitas!

What a great marinade! Savory and satisfying, add a little cumin for an extra zing!

How To Make traditional fajitas

1
Whisk together line juice, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and pepper in a large ziplock bag or non-metal dish.

2
Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3
When steak has marinated, cut meat into 1/2 inch strips.
4
On hot grill, grill strips until almost done. Scoot meat to one side of the grill.
5
In skillet, bring remaining marinade to a boil. Reduce heat and add peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Cook until crisp/cooked. Optional: cook the veggies on the grill with a drizzle of olive oil.
