Fajita marinades

We invited our favorite derby ladies, the Psychopathogens, over for a signature cocktail party at our place.  That much alcohol requires food, and we thought a build your own fajita bar would be perfect drunken potluck food that would satisfy the vegetarians, paleos, and carnivores alike.  I whipped up these two marinades the night before and let everything sit overnight in the fridge.  I'll let my team mates be the judge of how they turned out.
