Spicy Tequila Marinade

From: The Cuisine Of New Mexico


SPICY TEQUILA MARINADE

4oz Tequila

1/2 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon grated onion

1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed

1 tablespoon cumin seed

2 tablespoons sugar

2-3 dried jalapeno peppers crushed

that marinade is along a very familiar theme...

seriously, add a touch of oregano and a T or two of chili powder... It would pretty much be a classic Carne Asada marinade.

Believe it or not... one of the secret ingredients in some "modern" carne asada marinades (in some of the larger taquerias in Mexico) is just a touch of soy sauce.

Anyway, thanks for the marinade recipe... I'll try this version on my next batch!
