Really nice twist on fajitas! Mixing the salsa into the peppers and onions was a good touch. I included the optional coriander, since we love it - great addition! The marinade gave a lovely citrus highlight to the chicken. I ended up marinating for one hour. I omitted the salt (personal preference). Thanks for sharing!
