Fajita Marinade for Chicken or Beef

Thought I would share healthy recipes that I have tried. Here's the 1st one...

Original recipe:

• 3 limes, juiced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

Recipe that I made:

• 2 limes, juiced and 1 lemon juiced (I didn't have 3 limes)
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped finely
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 c (plus maybe a little more) chopped fresh cilantro
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 jalapeno finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 3-4 dashes of tobasco sauce

Whisk together. Marinate for 12-24 hours.

I used this on a whole chicken. I ran my fingers under the skin of the breast and put chunky marinade under skin too. Hubby grilled the chicken and it was delicious!
