TEQUILA LIME MARINADE
This marinade has a little kick to it. It's best if used to marinate overnight. I slow cook chicken in a crock pot in marinate for 8 hours and then add to red chili. I won a chili cook off using this recipe.

Tips:
- Choose the right tequila: For the best flavor, use a high-quality tequila that you would enjoy drinking. Reposado or añejo tequilas work well, as they have a more complex flavor than blanco tequilas.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your marinade will taste. Use fresh limes, oranges, and cilantro for the best results.
- Let the meat marinate for at least 2 hours: The longer the meat marinates, the more flavorful it will be. For the best results, marinate the meat for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Don't overcook the meat: Overcooked meat is tough and chewy. Cook the meat just until it is cooked through, or to your desired doneness.
- Serve the meat with your favorite sides: Tequila-marinated meat is delicious served with rice, beans, vegetables, or your favorite Mexican dishes.
Conclusion:
Tequila marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your meat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will tenderize and flavor your meat to perfection. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or pan-frying, a tequila marinade will help you create a delicious and memorable meal.
