This was great but I left out the anise and only had 1/2 of a lime so I used that and one lemon. I also used olive oil and doubled it. Will make again.

This marinade was excellent! I thought the cilantro was going to be too strong, but it wasn't at all. The only change I made was to omit the anise seed, only because I didn't have any and couldn't find it in the grocery store. This tastes restaurant quality - hubby and I both loved it. Even my finicky teen didn't mind it. Will definitely be using again!

After trying many different approaches to beef fajitas -- this is now my favorite, go to recipe. I used this Saturday night for dinner -- and even though I only had 1 hour to marinate the meat, the flavor turned out great. Don't skip the anise, it adds a unique, distinctive flavor which is really nice. For meat, I used the tri-tip steaks from costco and cut them into strips before marinating.

Tried this recipe but added 2tsp of soy sauce and replaced the coriander with lemon zest. Marinated flank steak and chicken breast but I only had 6hours to marinate. I cooked both meats on the grill and my guests loved them!

It was ok....felt like it was missing something, so I added cumin. It was better!

This has become my favorite fajita recipe. The only changes I make are adding a teaspoon or so of my adobo seasoning(Traci's Adobo on here minus the salt)and sometimes some chipotle pepper or cayenne as well. I have made it with two and three limes but don't find it makes too much of a change in the "lime" level some people complain about. This reminds me of Texas fajitas.

I was really apprehensive about this recipe because I am not a big cilantro fan but this turned out great! I only used half of the pepper flakes since my daughter doesn't like food that is too spicy but I will certainly be recommending this to friends!
