Rotel Fajitas

I am completely obsessed with these fajitas.  I've made them three times in the last three weeks.  They are the best fajitas I've ever made at home.  Seriously!  The fajitas are marinated in a mixture of beer and Rotel tomatoes.  We let the meat marinate overnight to get the most flavor we could in the meat.  I was worried about the beer flavor, but I couldn't taste it once the meat was cooked.  (We used a bottle of Dos Equis beer)

Chicken Legs grilled the skirt steak and I sautéed the onion and pepper on the stove.  The results were fabulous!  They tasted as good, if not better, than any restaurant fajitas.  As I said, we've made these three times; once with beef and twice with chicken.  They were both delicious!  Put these on your menu this week - you won't be disappointed!
