I could survive on Mexican food three times a day. I mean put me as a contestant on Survivor Mexico and I've got it made. I would grind corn and make my own tortillas and be declared the winner. We do seriously eat Mexican food at least 4 times a week. My best friend's husband doesn't like Mexican food. THAT would be a deal breaker at my house. Thankfully, Mr. Devilish Dish loves the cuisine from South of the Border as much as I do. He's famous for his fajitas. The marinade works great on beef, chicken, shrimp or even veggies. My personal favorite is steak fajitas topped off with his equally famous guacamole. No matter what you decide to marinate, you'll be doing the Mexican Hat Dance and shouting OLE too!
