Marinade for Mexican style chicken/beef

It's so hard for me to give measurements, I cook to taste but here is a good recipe to spice up the meat for my quesadillas or fajitas. It's a hit in my house and I'm sure it will be in yours.

1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
1Tbs crushed red pepper (more or less to taste)
1/4 to 1/2 cup soy sauce
1 clove minced garlic

mix ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until honey is worked through the marinade. Cool and then marinate meat for at least a half hour. When cooking meat, pour marinade in the pan with the meat. It will render and soak into the meat for a very flavorful start to any Mexican dish.
