PEOPLE! Forget the complaints about the lime flavor... it is SUPPOSED to have the flavor of the lime and the tequila! That is what supposed to be what fajitas taste like! This is an excellent authentic southwestern marinade! Really good flavor, thanks for posting the recipe, now I can make fajitas that TASTE like fajitas. There may need to be an adjustment to the salt, but please, do NOT use soy salt, use SALT!

The flavors blended well for very tasty fajitas. I did not change anything in the recipe, and left the meat in the marinade for 24 hours.

Never knew taquila was so useful in tenderizing fajita meat!! I added mesquite liquid smoke, and McCormick Steak seasoning to the mix, this was delicious!! Thank you for sharing it!!

Very good! I made this for my daughter's birthday party to have something besides the traditional hot dogs & hamburgers...it was a BIG hit! People even asked for the recipe!

I did equal parts oil, lime juice and tequila. Also added a splash of soy sauce. Made for tender beef, the longer you can let it marinate the better.

Loved the recipe. Added just a few more ingredients and changed to light rum from tequila. Added 2 chopped jalepenos, 1/2 tsp mesquite smoke, 1 tbl. worcestershire sauce and a tsp. of honey wine vinegar, which balanced out the lime. Fabulous. Great base recipe to put your own touches to. If you don't have the vinegar just use 1 tsp of honey.

Wayyyyy too much lime in this! May try again with a squirt of lime only. The meat was tender.

There was WAAAY too much of the lime flavor. I marinaded the steak for about 6 hours! It was slightly spicey but the only real flavor was the lime. It smelled wonderful but I will not be making this again.

Exactly what I needed. I tripled the recipe to work for two and a half pounds of beef and flipped the tequila/lime juice amounts. I also added onion powder and a little worchestershire sauce. Thanks for sharing this.
