16 May Fresh Fajita Marinade
Is it weird that I think this is beautiful? Haha! But seriously, it doesn’t get much better than a big piece of beef swimming in my favorite healthy, antioxidant-rich marinade! This marinade works beautifully on chicken, shrimp, pork, and the kind of steak that you cook and slice up for fajitas and burritos like skirt steak, flank steak or flat iron steak. Fresh orange and lime adds tons of citrus flavor and anti-aging antioxidants. Extra virgin olive oil is good for you too; it provides Vitamin E along with heart healthy fat.
