Tequila Lime Chicken

Serves 4-6

1/2 C Gold Tequila

1 C freshly squeezed lime juice (5-6 Limes – don’t cheat it must be fresh lime juice)

1/2 C Freshly squeezed orange juice (2 Oranges – you can cheat here with store bought)

1 t chili powder

1 Jalapeno, sliced into rounds

3 Cloves garlic, minced

1 T fresh cilantro, chopped

2-3 lbs. Chicken Tenderloins

Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice,  chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Add the chicken tenderloins. Refrigerate overnight

Guacamole

Yield: 3 cups

4 Avacados

Juice of 1 Lime

1/4 C Red onion, small dice

1 large garlic clove, minced

1 t salt

1/2 t freshly ground pepper

1 tomato, seeded and chopped

Cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of their shells into a large bowl.

Immediately add the lime juice, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss well. (this prevents the avocados from oxidizing and turning brown)

Using a knife or fork, mix well.  You want to blend all the ingredients, but do not over mix – you want to keep some pieces of avocado intact.

Add the tomatoes. Mix gently and taste for salt and pepper.

Pico de Gallo

Yeild: 2 Cups

2 large Tomatoes, seeded and chopped

1/4 C red onion, chopped

Juice of one lime

1/2 Jalapeno, seeded and minced

2 T Cilantro, chopped

Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and let sit 2 hours for flavors to blend.

Assembling your fajitas:

Offer grilled chicken with guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sauteed onions and peppers.

Create  your own combinations of the above on warm tortillas.
