Oh. Em. Gee. I have to admit that this was insanely good. Served with sour cream, some chipotle lime coleslaw, habernero shredded cheese, and coriander cilantro chutney, in small and low carb tortillas.
It marinated for about 5 hours and was quickly grilled on the bbq. It was super tender and packed with flavour. Even a touch of heat without it screaming at you.
I got the thumbs up from the Hubby, too! Frankly, I could easily eat them again tomorrow. If there was any leftover. Which there aren’t. And for those who care, its a low carb recipe as tequila has zero carbs. 😉
