Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the beer, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
-
Place your protein or vegetables of choice in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the top, making sure to coat the ingredients evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
When ready to cook, preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
-
Remove the protein or vegetables from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
-
Grill or cook your fajitas until the protein is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the veggies are tender and slightly charred.
-
Once done, remove from the heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing the protein or serving the veggies.
-
Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh and herbaceous finish. Serve your delicious Fajita Beer Marinade creation with warm tortillas, guacamole, salsa, and all your favorite toppings.
