I started with a copycat recipe, added more of my favorite (garlic salt) ingredient, and then made this for my son, as well as for my co-worker, who had just had a baby. Everyone's comment: "Wow! That was really tender, tasty chicken!" (I didn't tell them how incredibly easy it was!) I served it with my Mexican rice (another favorite)and black beans.

This is delicious and easy! I like to make this on the weekends beause I can marinate the Chicken while I am busy doing other things. Serve with rice and black beans for a quick weekend meal, much cheaper than going out to eat too!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and efficient in the kitchen.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. When possible, use organic or locally-sourced produce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When grilling chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: After grilling, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the chicken more tender.
  • Use high-quality tequila: When making a margarita, use a high-quality tequila. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the drink.
  • Use fresh lime juice: For the best flavor, use fresh lime juice in your margarita. Bottled lime juice will not taste as good.
  • Serve the margarita chilled: Margaritas are best served chilled. You can chill the margarita glasses in the freezer before serving.
  • Garnish the margarita: Garnish the margarita with a lime wedge or a salt rim. This will add a festive touch to the drink.

Conclusion:

These recipes are a great way to enjoy a delicious Mexican meal at home. The grilled chicken is flavorful and juicy, the margarita is refreshing and tangy, and the Mexican rice is a perfect accompaniment. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, these recipes are sure to please everyone at the table.
