Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have skirt steak, you can substitute flank steak or another thin cut of beef.
• If you don't want your fajitas to be spicy, omit the jalapeno pepper.
• Be careful not to overcook the steak. It should be cooked to your desired doneness, but still tender.
• Let the steak rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
• You can prepare the marinade up to 2 days in advance.
• Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cheese.
