Pour over meat and onions. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (At this point he says to go out and just party, party, party -- just forget about these tasty fajitas 'til tomorrow.) Next day - or whenever you find your way back home, remove the meat and onions, reserving the marinade. Separate the meat and onions.

Meanwhile, sauté‚‚ the onions in butter with some green and maybe some yellow peppers sliced into strips. When the meat's done, slice it into thin strips, cutting across the grain. Serve with homemade refried beans, Mexican rice, guacamole, picante sauce or salsa, sour cream, grated cheddar, your sauté‚‚ed veggies and of course, warm flour tortillas to hold it all together.
