Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons tequila
1 tablespoon lime zest, from about 2 limes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1¼ teaspoons ground ancho chili pepper
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1¼ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons honey
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or about 2 pounds), pounded to an even ½-inch thickness
1 lime, sliced into wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Combine all of the ingredients except for the chicken breasts in a 1-gallon freezer bag. Close the bag and squish the marinade around to mix. Add the chicken breasts and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated. Seal the bag and place it in a bowl in the refrigerator (the bowl protects against leakage); marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Clean the grill and preheat to high. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. (Alternatively, you can spray the grates with a non-flammable cooking spray.) Place the chicken breasts on the grill and spoon any remaining marinade from the bag over top. Grill, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side (turning only once). Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Categories condiment

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1/2 cup white tequila
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 turns freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up, at room temperature (1 stick)
Essence, recipe follows
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

Combine the tequila, lime juice, shallots, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper in a saute pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce by half. Stir in the cream and simmer for 3 minutes. Whisk in the butter and remove from the heat. Continue whisking until all of the butter is incorporated. Serve immediately.
Remove the rellenos from the oven. Spoon 1/4 cup of the sauce on each plate and place the rellenos directly on top. Garnish with the tortilla strips and the cilantro sprigs. Sprinkle Essence on the rim.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Tips:

Use fresh limes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can substitute bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
Toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly darker in color. This will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
Use a blender or food processor to grind the cumin seeds, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt into a fine powder. This will help the spices blend well with the other ingredients.
Store the tequila lime seasoning mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
Use the tequila lime seasoning mix to flavor chicken, fish, shrimp, or vegetables. It can also be used as a dry rub for meats before grilling or roasting.

Conclusion:

The tequila lime seasoning mix is a versatile and flavorful blend of spices that can be used to add a zesty kick to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be stored for up to 6 months, making it a great pantry staple.
