[email protected]This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's just because I used a bit too much chili powder. Next time I'll use a little less and see how it turns out.

[email protected]I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The tequila gives the chicken a slightly sweet and tangy flavor, while the chili powder and cumin add a touch of smokiness. I served it with rice and beans and it was a delicious meal.
