Review: Today we made tex-mex fajitas and they tasted so amazing and were fun to make too. What didn’t go well for us is when we were cutting up the meat we thought we cut it up small enough so we put it in the marinade, but it turns out they were too big of strips so we had to pull all the meat out of the marinade and recut all of the strips of meat. Our ability to forget about our mistakes and quickly fix them and make up for what we have done is what really helped us out today. Today I learned how to make and marinade meat which I have never done before, this will allow me to prepare all kind of flavourful meat. The only thing I would change is to add less lime and lemon juice in the marinade as it made the meat a little bit bitter and unappetising. All in all it was a very successful day and the fajitas tasted amazing too.
