How to Make Tequila Grill Marinade

  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
  2. Place your chosen protein (chicken, steak, fish, or shrimp) in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the protein, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours (longer is better for deeper flavor!), turning occasionally.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the protein from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  7. Grill the protein to your desired doneness, basting occasionally with any remaining marinade (use caution, as it may flare up).
  8. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
