Tequila Lime Chicken



Tequila lime chicken is one of the best known tequila recipes in the world. And rightfully so: it’s easy to cook, fast to make, and delicious to eat (along with your favorite tequila, of course).

If you love eating and drinking (that’s 99.9% of the population) you absolutely NEED to learn how to cook it.

There are a few tequila lime chicken recipes floating around the web; however, I’m all for improvising and improving upon existing recipes. I learned how to cook this particular dish over a year ago during a visit to Tequila, Jalisco. I fell in love with it and I’m sure you’ll will too.

The time has come to share it with the world!
