MEXICAN MARGARITA CHICKEN
I made this recipe up one day after work when I wanted an easy dinner and I had to use up the avocado that was going bad. If you want to ommit the Tequilla go ahead (I just added it becuase we had some left over from a St. Patricks day Party). The measurements are really guidelines becuase I jsut sort of threw things in to taste, so feel free to fiddle with them. Yet overall, I think it turned out pretty well. Enjoy!

CHILI'S MARGARITA GRILLED CHICKEN AND BELINDA'S MEXICAN RICE
I started with a copycat recipe, added more of my favorite (garlic salt) ingredient, and then made this for my son, as well as for my co-worker, who had just had a baby. Everyone's comment: "Wow! That was really tender, tasty chicken!" (I didn't tell them how incredibly easy it was!) I served it with my Mexican rice (another favorite)and black beans.

MARGARITA FAJITAS CHICKEN
This recipe was inspired by a meal I had at a local restaurant. The marinade is also great if you want to leave the chicken breasts whole and grill out in the summer. Of course, a good margarita or sangria are my beverages of choice with this dish.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
- Add chicken strips and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- (Overnight works best, if possible) Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet (it works best for blackening the chicken).
- When thoroughly heated, add the chicken and cook until just starting to turn golden.
- Add the pepper and onion rings and cook until chicken starts to blacken and onions start to caramelize.
- Heat the tortillas in a tortilla warmer.
- If you don't have a tortilla warmer, I've found that putting the tortillas in a glass pie dish with a damp cloth covering them in a microwave for+/- 2 minutes works for me.
- Place 1 or 2 strips of chicken with some of the grilled onions and peppers in a tortilla.
- Top as desired with remaining ingredients.
- It's kinda fun to let people create their own.
