Chili's Fajitas for Two

Marinade:
* 1/4 c. fresh lime juice
* 1 tsp. salt
* 1/3 c. water
* 1/2 tsp. chili powder
* 2 Tbl. vegetable oil
* 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
* 1 lg. clove garlic, pressed
* 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
* 3 tsp. soy sauce * Dash of onion powder
* 1/2 tsp. liquid smoke

* 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves OR 1 lb. top sirloin OR 1 chicken breast half & 1/2 lb. sirloin * 2 Tbl. water * 1/2 tsp. lime juice * Dash of salt & pepper * 1 Spanish onion, sliced * 1 Tbl. vegetable oil * 1 tsp. soy sauce * 6-8 6-in flour tortillas * Desired toppings (i.e. cheese, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, etc.)

Combine all marinade ingredients in sm. bowl. (At least 2 hours. If using sirloin, marinate overnight, if possible.) After marinating, heat grill or stove-top grill to high.

In a skillet, over med-high, saute onion slices in oil for 5 min. Combine soy sauce, water & lime juice in small bowl & pour over onions. Add pepper & continue to saute until onions are translucent & dark on edges, (4-5 more minutes). Salt to taste. While onions are sauteing, grill meat for 4-5 min. per side or until done.

While meat & onions are cooking, heat another skillet, (cast iron if possible), over high heat. This will be your sizzling serving pan.

When meat is done, remove it from grill & slice into thin strips. Remove extra pan from heat & pour onions & any liquid into it. Add meat to pan & serve immediately with toppings.
