Tequila Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and seasonings; cook and stir until onion is tender, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. If desired, add in tequila, stirring constantly., Transfer to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Add broths and sweet potatoes. Cook, covered, on low until potatoes are tender, 6-8 hours. Stir in chocolate until melted. Cool soup slightly. Process in batches in a blender until smooth. Serve with avocado and Cotija cheese., Freeze option: Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add broth if necessary.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 3/4" thick slices.
• In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil and then add the potatoes -- when they begin to re-boil, allow them to go for 6 minutes, uncovered, (they should be just tender) and then drain them with a colander.
• Mix the lime juice, honey and tequila together in a small bowl.
• Set up a large baking sheet on which there is a metal grill-type rack. Lay the potatoes out on the rack and brush them with the lime-honey-tequila sauce.
• Broil the potatoes until they brown on one side, flip them and when they brown on the second side, they're done.
• NOTE: A second option is to grill the brushed potatoes on a gas or charcoal grill.
