  Prepare the vegetables, heat olive oil and garlic in a
  pan over high heat. Add the vegetables and saute for 2
  to 3 minutes. Add the reserved 1/4 cup marinade and cook

  fajitas: Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of screaming sour
  cream over the tortilla. Add 4 to 5 thin slices of meat.
  Add a few pieces of stir-fried vegetables. Top with holy
  guacamole.
