AWESOME! Followed a couple others & added that dash of cinnamon & Tbl of balsamic vinegar and only used 2 limes. (I've made another marinade & it was too limey for us before). I also marinated about 24 hours & used sirloin cut into strips. This was a great marinade! I made my onions as I had with another recipe from this site, Texas Chicken Quesadillas, and put my bell peppers in another pan with some oil and a very small amount of packaged taco seasoning & then threw the peppers on the grill where the beef was cooking. These fajitas rocked and I will be making them again for sure! Thanks for this great marinade!

Very good recipes if you use it as a base and not a finished product. Definitely needs salt. I also add a lot more spice to it. Have added both cayenne pepper and a habenero pepper to the marinade, either adds a nice amount of heat. Additionally I add some honey to it to mellow out the lime flavor. My version would be: 3 Limes, 4 Green Onions, 6 Cloves of Garlic, 4 T Cilantro, 2 T Olive Oil, 1 t Crushed Red Pepper, 1 t Ground Coriander, 2 T Honey, 1 Habenero Pepper or 1 t Cayenne Pepper (optional)

I thought this was really good. Lots of lime flavour, which we like. I marinated it for about 24 hours and used a good steak. Perhaps a bit more spice next time. Thanks for a good recipe!

This is a good marinade, but next time I will add more spice for my family. The meat like it was went great the next day chopped up into a bean pot too! Thank you for this easy recipe.

I think a four rating is pretty generous. This was just okay. I agree with another reviewer, salt is a must.I was expecting a pop of flavor that never really came.

I think the recipe was lacking a little in the salt department. Add some salt and it's pretty darn good.

The whole family was disappointed in the taste as it was mainly lime. I won't make this recipe again but will continue my search for something with more flavor.

I don't know why, to me this was only ok. I thought it was bland, even after adding more garlic and red pepper flakes. I did like the cilantro though and the coriander.

Using half of the limes, this recipe is enough for about 1 1/2 lbs. of meat with a perfect tang to it. I kept everything else the same. Made two batches, one for steak and one for chicken, and made awesome fajitas last night!

Fantastic Fajita Marinade! Per my own flavor likes, I did add chili powder and cumin to the mix. After I let the chicken marinade, I boiled it (especially since I used chicken thighs, whichy are on the fatty side and it's easier to take the meat away from the fat after it is boiled). Then I shreded the meat and went to town making fajitas. Just a little FYI that I learned from a wonderful little Mexican woman at the supermarket . . . if you're picking out limes, try to get the smooth/shiny limes, they have more juice! I've followed her advide and it's worked for me so far :)

This marinade wasn't very good. The lime flavor was overpowering and that was all I could taste. Perhaps it should be called Lime Fajita Marinade. I don't think I will be making this again, in favor of something more traditionally fajita-flavored.
