Tequila Lime Chicken
This tasty dish combines the tangy flavor of the tequila lime marinade with creamy southwestern-style dressing, and tops it all off with a melted cheese blend. Just be sure you don't marinate the chicken longer than the 3 to 4 hours, or the citric acid in the lime juice may toughen the chicken. The bed of crispy corn tortilla strips can be easily cloned with crumbled store-bought corn chips, but if you want strips like those served at the restaurant, just follow the "tidbits" below. Serve this dish with your choice of rice (Spanish rice is recommended), along with some pico de gallo or salsa on the side. Marinade 1 cup water 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon mesquite liquid smoke flavoring 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon tequila 4 chicken breast fillets Mexi-Ranch Dressing 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 1 tablespoon milk 2 teaspoons minced tomato 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar 1 teaspoon minced canned jalapeno slices (nacho slices) 1 teaspoon minced onion 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco pepper sauce 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon dried dill weed 1/8 teaspoon paprika 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/8 teaspoon cumin 1/8 teaspoon chili powder dash garlic powder dash ground black pepper 1 cup shredded cheddar/monterey jack cheese blend 2 cups crumbled corn chips or fried tortilla strips (see tidbits) 1. Prepare marinade by combining marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours. 2. Make the mexi-ranch dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well until smooth, then cover dressing and chill it until needed. 3. When you are ready to prepare the entree, preheat the oven to high broil. Also, preheat your barbecue or indoor grill to high heat. When the grill is hot cook the marinated chicken breasts for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until they're done. 4. Arrange the cooked chicken in a baking pan. Spread a layer of mexi-ranch dressing over each piece of chicken (you'll have plenty left over), followed by 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese blend. Broil the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the cheese has melted. 5. Spread a bed of 1/2 cup of the tortilla strips or crumbled corn chips on each of four plates. Slide a chicken breast onto the chips on each plate and serve with your choice of rice, and pico de gallo, or salsa. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com) Serves 4. Tidbits Crumbling store-bought tortilla chips is the easy way to make the bed of crunchy chips that the tequila lime chicken rests on. But, you can make tortilla strips like those served at the restaurant by cutting a stack of eight 6-inch corn tortillas in half. Stack the halves on top of each other and slice the tortillas into thin strips. Fry the tortilla strips in 2 cups of oil preheated in a large skillet for 3-5 minutes or until crispy. Salt lightly and cool on paper towels to drain. -- Get Your Holiday Shopping Done Now !!

Yeah. ;-) I'd add at least 1/4 cup! Otherwise it'd have no influence at all on the flavor? -- Om. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack Nicholson |

Less expensive tequila is for cooking....... and Margaritas. ;-d Juice of one whole lime 2 shots tequila (I use Montezuma) 1 shot triple sec (De Bohls) Mix, add to a glass of crushed ice with a salted rim (I skip the salt but it's traditional). Top off with lemonade instead of margarita mix. It's better IMHO. -- Om. "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch." -Jack Nicholson |

Now have you ever heard of tin hat tequila? Back when DH & I were dating a bunch of us went out. The guys did tin hat tequila. What you do is lick your hand and sprinkle salt in it. Holding a piece of lemon in the other hand, you bend over backwards resting your head directly on the bar. The bar tending pours a shot of tequila. You immediately stand up to be crowned with a tin work hat, swallow the tequila then lick the salt & bite on the lemon *while* others in your group or anyone else that wants to join in hits the tin hat with sticks. IIRC the sticks were old drumbsticks kept behind the bar and freely given out to use by the bartender. Heavens the crazy things we did back then. Dang good thing we grew up! |
