I'm pretty sure I used too much adobo; but I found it more HOT than flavorful. My boyfriend, however, LOVED it. He is a big fan of peppery food. I have no access to a grill and do this sort of thing in the broiler. The couple-few charred spots on the steaks were fantastically delicious, and I'm quite sure this is beyond belief when done on a grill. Next time I'll cut back the adobo.

Make this tonight with ELK steaks...I tweaked the marinade though. I added zest from 1/2 lime, juice from 1 1/2 limes, a tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Kept the 2 Tbsp chipotle peppers the same. I also used about 2 Tbsp grated garlic instead of minced. Overall, very tasty in fajitas! Will definitely make again. It was not too spicy, rather it had a nice, subtle taste of chipotle pepper. And I didn't think that the marinade smelled bad...I thought it smelled good. But I cook with these ingredients all the time, so maybe I am just used to the smell.

A fantastic marinade for flank steak for fajitas. I did add about a 1/4 tsp granulated onion, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 cup packed cilantro (leaves and stems) to the ingredients. I blitzed it all in a mini processor adding a little oil to make it come together, then put the steak in a zip top bag, added the marinade, squished it around to coat, and let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Mighty tasty!

This is one of the easiest and tastiest marinades I've ever had. Sometimes I add a little oil with the adobo sauce, just to stretch the marinade a little. That also makes it stick to the meat a little better. Let me tell you...this is awesome as fajitas, and it's way cheaper to buy a plain skirt steak and dress it up than it is to buy the bag of premarinated stuff. In additons, you end up with less sodium and processed gunk. Thanks Tracie for a great recipe!

The seasoning is outstanding. I did the recipe exact with cook time of 7 mins per side on 350 degrees. I can't wait to try this on different types of steaks.

We loved it, the complexity yet simple flair with a kick was just what we were looking for. And, I don't rate marinades, I've never been convinced of the effects they have - I wanna taste and feel the impact to the texture. This may be great for any type of steak - we used skirt steak labeled in the grocers fridge as "marinate." We love it, and will use it again and again.
