The key to a good fajita marinade is finding the right balance of flavors, including a combination of spices such as cumin, chili powder, and paprika, along with fresh herbs like cilantro. The acidic component, often lime juice or vinegar, helps to break down the tough fibers in the meat and infuse it with a tangy and zesty flavor. Many recipes also include oil, garlic, and onion to add depth and richness to the marinade. Whether you're grilling, pan-searing, or baking your fajitas, a good marinade is essential for creating tender, juicy, and flavorful meat that is sure to be a hit with friends and family.
