For best results, prepare the cilantro-lime sauce the night before you need it to give the flavors a chance to blend. Planning ahead will also save time on those busy nights you want to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible.
Tip: You can also prepare the fajita seasoning in larger batches and store in an airtight container for later use.
