How to Make Tequila Citrus Marinade
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup tequila, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1/2 cup orange juice.
- Finely grate the zest of 1 lime and 1 orange; add to the bowl.
- Roughly chop 1/4 cup fresh cilantro and 2 tablespoons of fresh mint; add to the marinade.
- Add 1-2 jalapeños, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference).
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add your meat (approximately 1-1.5 lbs) to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for best results.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated meat to your desired doneness, basting occasionally with the marinade.
