These chicken fajitas are a fast and easy weeknight dinner that my family loves. (With the exception of the kid that hates all things tacos. Why???) While it takes some quick work the night before to assemble the marinade, I have also had some success with just combining all of the marinade ingredients immediately before cooking. Is it as flavorful? No, of course not. Is it still delicious? You bet!
