Chicken Fajita Marinade
If you want to know exactly what is going into your chicken fajita marinade or save some money, Â create your chicken fajita marinade at home. Â I use this recipe to make delicious chicken fajitas for make ahead meals. Â When I get chicken on sale, this is a great way to season and freeze it. Â Then on the day you want to have fajitas, just take out of the freezer and thaw. Â It is already marinated, so you don’t have any prep, just cook and serve.
In this post, I will share how I make my easy chicken fajita marinade. Â You will be surprised how easy it is and then question why pre-marinaded chicken fajitas are marked up 30% or more. Â Plus, you know exactly what is in your marinade without the chemicals, colors or preservatives. Â So, you can make chicken fajita marinade in batches or just for the day.
I use my food saver to vacuum seal bags of this, so they are flat and put it in the freezer. Â This is great for people that are busy. Â Chicken fajitas are great for beach trips, camping and outdoor grilling.
