These are a favorite of my family. Extremely flavorful and easy to prepare. Serve with pico de gallo, which I have added a recipe. I usually make fresh guacamole to serve with these. Ingredients:

1/2 cup tequila (any brand, not that important, you're not drinking it - haha) |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1 tbls minced garlic |
1/2 tsp cumin |
pepper flakes to taste |
1 tbls olive oil |
1/2 tsp salt |
sliced red bell pepper (i used one half -saved rest- depends on how much you want) |
pico de gallo |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
3 roma tomatoes, chopped |
1 - 2 tbls chopped jalapenos |
Directions:
1. In shallow dish, add all ingredients except chicken, stir to combine
2. add chicken
3. marinate for 1 to 2 hours (or more if desired, but not necessary)
4. Grill chicken breasts in grill pan on stove over med heat or on gas grill over med low flame till done. About 10 - 15 min. max. Do not over cook. Let rest for a couple minutes. Meanwhile, put red bell pepper in pan with some of the marinade from the chicken (be sure and boil first) and saute on medium till done al dente.
