In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic, lime zest, jalapeno, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Place the chicken or beef in Ziploc bag with the fajita marinade. Seal the bag and make sure all of the pieces are well coated. Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.

Transfer to a warmed platter and serve immediately.
