Quick and Easy Chipotle Beef Fajita Marinade

Amy Lawrence
This quick and easy beef fajita marinade is made with fresh lime juice, olive oil and my easy homemade chipotle seasoning.  The marinade is great for making steak fajitas, chicken fajitas, seafood and vegetables. I do find the chipotle beef fajita marinade tastes best when you marinate the meat/vegetables overnight, but a few hours will do!
