Yield: 6 servings

Amy's Comments: My husband made these for dinner one night. He couldn't find the crushed red pepper so he used a little cayenne. They weren't
super spicy but they were VERY flavorful and a great way to get veggies in! The next afternoon I had the steak/veggies on salad. YUM!
INGREDIENTS:
Marinade:
1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup water
4 teaspoons dried oregano
