For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade. If you prefer a spicier kick, include a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño. Marinating for longer than 8 hours will provide better results. Serve with warm tortillas, sauteed peppers and onions, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for a complete fajita experience.
