I used this to marinate thinly sliced chicken for fajitas and was pleased with the results. I subbed 2 canned chipoltes for the jalapeno and liked the smoky heat they added. I will use this recipe again.

I didn't have a jalapeno handy so I substituted 1/2 tsp of dried red pepper flakes. Turned out as a pretty nice marinade for tuna steaks.
