Time 5h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large limes, zested and juiced
1/4 cup agave nectar or 3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
2 large boneless and skinless chicken thighs
1 (12 to 16-ounce) skirt or flank steak
Serving suggestion: corn or flour tortillas, warmed, see Cook's Note.
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large limes, zested and juiced
1/4 cup agave nectar or 3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon chili powder

2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
2 large boneless and skinless chicken thighs
1 (12 to 16-ounce) skirt or flank steak
Serving suggestion: corn or flour tortillas, warmed, see Cook's Note.

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, agave nectar (or brown sugar, if using), garlic, oregano, chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour the mixture into a 1-gallon-size resealable bag. Add the chicken breasts, chicken thighs and steak and refrigerate for 4 hours, turning the meat occasionally. Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Remove the meat from the bag and season with salt. Reserve the marinade.

  • Meanwhile, put the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (in order to kill any bacteria). Boil for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Slice the meat into 1/4-inch thick pieces and put into serving bowls. Pour the cooked marinade over the meat and toss until coated. Serve the meat in warm tortillas.

These are so quick and tasty. You can use strips of boneless chicken breast instead of the beef. Feel free to double the marinade. The flavor is so great for such a short marination time. You can can do them up ahead of time and have the meat sit longer if you wish.
