This is a sure fire south of the border specialty because it is spicy and zesty and fresh as can be. It’s also super easy, yet super decadent. You will never eat plain old fajitas again. The sauce is excellent on all meats and vegetables but our clear favorite is Chipotle Herb Grilled Flank Steak Fajitas (see seasonal entertaining section for complete recipe).
