Chef's Notes
Pay meticulous attention to the emulsification of the olive oil and lime juice in step two. A well-whisked base ensures that the flavors cling evenly to every morsel of protein rather than separating in the cold.
Pro Tip
If you are using chicken breast, score the meat lightly with a sharp blade before pouring the marinade over it. This allows the soy sauce and lime juice to penetrate deep into the fibers for maximum tenderness.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Do not commit the unforgivable heresy of drowning your protein in this marinade for days on end, thinking more time equals more flavor; the ferocious citrus acid in the lime juice will silently cook and chemically destroy your meat, turning your glorious fajitas into a dismal, mealy tragedy fit only for the palace hounds!

The Culinary Science
The acid in the lime juice acts as a natural tenderizer by breaking down tough collagen fibers in the protein's surface, while the salt draws moisture inward through osmosis, keeping your meat exceptionally juicy during the cooking process.
