Lime Cilantro Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
• 2. Use to marinade chicken, steak or shrimp. (if using on fish or shrimp, marinade no longer than 30 minutes, or seafood will start to "cook" and be tough.

Steps:

• Combine chiles, canola oil, cilantro, lime zest and juice, garlic, jalapeno, honey, salt, and pepper in a 1-gallon freezer bag and seal completely. Gently massage the bag to combine ingredients well. Add chicken and turn to completely coat with marinade. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 4 hours for best flavor, turning bag occasionally.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill chicken, covered, on the preheated grill until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• Remove chicken from the grill and let rest under aluminum foil to redistribute juices back into the meat, 4 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Place marinade ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Add marinade and chicken to a large Ziploc bag. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours, turning occasionally. Remove chicken and discard marinade. Grill over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side.
• 2. These are the wraps I made with the grilled chicken. I sliced the breasts, topped them with a black bean and corn salsa, and spooned a cumin sour cream sauce on top. Wrapped it all up in a flour tortilla. Yum!

Steps:

• Toss all the ingredients into a mini food processor and pulse until combined.
• Marinate meat for 1/2 hour.
• Grill.
• Eat.
• Say: Yumm.
