Use this quick and easy marinade for beef, chicken or vegetable fajitas.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Preparation:

In a small bowl stir salad dressing, salsa, lime peel, lime juice, cilantro, and hot pepper sauce.

To use, pour marinade over beef or chicken in a plastic bag and seal. Set in a shallow dish. Marinate in the refrigerator 4 hours for chicken or overnight for beef, turning bag occasionally. Drain, reserving marinade.
