Best Way To Remove Fajita Contents From Marinade

Best Way To Remove Fajita Contents From Marinade - Confident young lady in casual wear carrying heavy carton boxes with toys and looking away while leaving old house

Usually when I marinade something it's just a single piece of meat. I can just pull it out and discard the rest of the marinade. However, when I have strips of chicken and vegetables all marinating in a single bag what's the best way to remove the contents? Should I just strain the bag over the sink? Or should I just reach in with tongs and pull everything out?

I guess my problem with both solutions is losing too much marinade from straining (don't want to lose more flavor than I have to) or pulling in too much liquid from using tongs (I don't want my tortillas to get soggy)

Any advice would be great

A colander over a bowl. That saves the marinade, so you can use as much as you want. Be sure you completely cook all of the marinade that you use, and discard the rest. It is not safe to reuse it.
