Not sure if it was just me... but don't marinade your BELL peppers, when it says "add peppers," it means black and cayenne peppers. Other than that, would recommend marinading more than 2 hours. Excellent!

This was marvelous! We each enjoyed it very much. Absolutely as good as any I have ever eaten out. I know this will become a regular in our house. We used the steak this time. Yum, yum!!!

My son is a Chili's chicken fajita junkie. I made these last night and he loved them. I doubled everything except the garlic and used chicken. Great recipe!

This was a great recipe, I used shrimp and beef. I had one ribeye steak and about 12 small shrimp, for 2 people, and put it over salad,for a fajita salad. It was really great!! I ended up marinating 2 days and it was still great. Charlotte

Very Good! Instead of grilling (which would have been even better), I stir fried the strips of steak, added some sugar and extra soy sauce because of personal preference (tasted too much lime, probably because I marinated strips vs solid piece, and overnight). I skipped the red and yellow peppers, used the gr pepper and sweet onion, chopped avocado and picante sauce. My only complaint was the quality of tortillas, other than that, we loved the flavor of the beef. Thanks R.H.!

I can't even say how much we loved these! I had some leftover grilled steak that had been frozen. So I sliced it very thinly, and then marinated for about 3 1/2 hours. I also added 1 small red pepper for heat, but I could have used more. I sauteed it in olive oil just until heated through, then removed from the pan, and kept it warm. I sauteed the onions and peppers in the same pan, till they were good and brown, poured the reserved liquid mixture over, then threw the meat back in the pan, and mixed well. Served in flour tortillas with chopped tomatoes and cheese, rice on the side, and now I have to make these ALL THE TIME! We're even going to grill some steaks to freeze so we can have these during the winter.(Too cold to grill around here.)Thanks for a great recipe!

Double the recipe using chicken - they were excellent. As an added flavor we halved the onion,brushed with olive oil and threw on the grill with the chicken and the green pepper, then cooled chopped and did the carmelization thing. Thanks - Making again for Mother's Day / B-day party on Sunday.

I used hanger steak (from Balducci's here in McLean, VA). Very, very good. I'm pretty sure Chili's uses skirt steak, but that could be a regional thing. Also, I think there should be more elaboration on cooking the onions and peppers. I sautee them. I cook on high heat in a cast iron skillet until browned, then reduce heat to low and cover the skillet and let sit for 30 to 45 minutes. As a time saver and alternate, if you live anywhere near a balducci's get the pre-marinated (in their chipotle lime marinade)skirt, hanger or flank steak. Delicous.

WONDERFUL! These fajitas are better than any I have ever had! We had guests over for dinner so I doubled the recipe. I marinated the chicken and steak for about 18 hrs. When the meat was done on the BBQ I turned the oven to warm and covered the meat and tortillas and let set until veggies were done. I cooked the veggies in a cast iron skillet and added mushrooms after the sauce was added. Meanwhile I took out meat and thinly sliced it. I would not combine meat in sauce I think it has better flavor left out. Served with Cafe Rio's Cilantro Lime Rice, a great combo!!! Thanks Robbie

Really great recipe, I added about one tsp. of cumin to the marinade to emphasize the smoky flavor because we don't have a grill and that worked out great. Marinated the beef overnight. Perfect flavor, definitely a keeper. Thank you Robbie!!
