I use the McCormick fajita seasoning and grill my chicken with bell peppers and onions in a little butter!. The flavor is amazing and gives the fajitas a "saucy" flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The best sauce is, the juice of two lemons, 1or 2 tomatoes chopped, salt and pepper to taste and a few slices of Jalapenos, put in the blender or food procesor!. or you could use any brand name salsa!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i never use sauce!. you can marinate chicken in Mojo (goya) its citrus based with lots of pepper
