Directions:
Macayo Fajitas (This basic fajita recipe is from the Johnson family which owns the Macayo chain.) ** and sliced Chopped fresh cilantro For marinade, in a large bowl, whisk together salt, pepper, lime, garlic and vegetable oil.
Put meat in marinade and set aside for at least one hour.
Heat oven to 200 degrees; set tortillas in for 1 to 3 minutes, to warm.
Remove and put in a covered basket.

For each fajaita, fill a tortilla with meat and desired amounts of garnishes and toppings and roll up like a burrito.
Serve with refried beans, black beans or Spanish rice.
Make 4 to 6 servings.
VARIATIONS: For spicier marinade, add cayenne pepper or crushed dry red chili pepper.
Instead of lime juice, try pineapple juice, papaya juice, beer, wine or barbecue sauce.
* *(Cooks note:) I like to use tequila, and marinate myself a bit while I'm doing the cooking.
It makes it much easier to roll up like a burrito.
It is the unrolling that becomes a bit difficult.
