For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili powder or a dash of smoked paprika to the marinade. If you don't have Mexican oregano, regular oregano can be substituted, but Mexican oregano has a more distinctive citrusy flavor. Be sure to discard the marinade after use to prevent any food safety issues. Marinating for the full 24 hours really allows the flavors to meld and tenderize the meat. Serve with warm tortillas, your favorite toppings, and a side of rice and beans for a complete fajita feast.
