Mike's Favorites Part 2- Fajitas

This is what we had for dinner tonight & decided I needed to share :)  I actually got this recipe from Serena but it has become a regular in this house (often requested despite my menu plan).  It's simple & delicious!!

Fajitas3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 cup water
2 cloves garlic (minced)
dash onion powder (we like onions in our fajitas so I just leave this out because the onions add enough for me)
1 lb chicken or beef (we've decided that steak is definitely the way to go, especially with the liquid smoke flavor)
Mushrooms (yup-you guessed it...another of mushroom recipe for Mike's Favorites haha and we like baby bella mushrooms)
Onion-sliced or roughly chopped

*Cube or chunk the meet.  Slice onion and mushrooms.  Mix all other ingredients together for the marinade.  Add meat and veggies into sauce and let marinade for 1-2 hours.  Then cook in all of the sauce until meat is cooked.  Serve with warm tortillas, cheese, and sour cream.

-just a couple of personal tips: I always double the sauce recipe because Mike LOVES it and will literally drink the rest of the sauce after everything else is gone...ssshhh don't tell him I told you haha.  And if I slice the meat pretty skinny insteady of thick chunks I only will marinade it for about 20-30 minutes and it tastes great!  I also use almost a whole carton of sliced mushrooms and a whole medium sized onion.  Let me know if you have questions!

Enjoy!!! yum yum

  2. FYI....when using chicken, I u substitute some chipotle w/ adobo sauce for the liquid smoke and it's super yummy (plus a little extra lime). I found that out one time when I was out of liquid smoke! For beef, the liquid smoke is definitely the best tho. :)
