This is similar to the Fajita marinade, but different. Things just go better with Tequila!
Category: Main Dish
Cuisine: Mexican
1/2 cup Gold Tequila
1 cup Lime Juice freshly squeezed or Minute Maid, frozen
1/2 cup Orange juice
1 tablespoon Chili powder
1 teaspoon Cumin
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground
1 Jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
1 tablespoon Garlic minced
1/4 cup Cilantro minced
6 Chicken breasts use either boneless or skin on breasts
Great recipe that pleases any time of the year. Just a word to the wise. Don't use "gold" tequila. Use 100% blue agave tequila. Either blanco, reposado or anejo. Doesn't matter much. Gold tequila is fake and is usually cut with grain alcohol.... disgusting. Be smart and happy cooking :-)
jacobpeirceAwesome! I didn't have gold and used hornitos and it turned our great! Thanks
drebworkinMade this with the Chipotle's cilantro-lime rice.
cjswope1 Star for moist chicken. However 1 Cup of lime juice is WAY too much. All we could taste was lime through the whole meal. Nobody finished a single piece of the chicken. People say everything like chicken, but this chicken tastes like lime. When making the marinade I had a feeling it was too much but followed the recipe anyway. I think it would be a great recipe if the lime was cut down to AT LEAST 1/2 cup = to the tequila. We make a tequila lime chicken using an old Applebee's recipe, and nothing compares to it. It also has only a few drops of lime to offset the tequila and spice.
