]]> Carne Asada Marinade https://wearentchefs.com/109/ca-marinade.html Mon, 19 Jan 2009 00:40:28 +0000 http://wearentchefs.com/?p=109 I use to cook East Coast Mexican, where I thought Ortega Taco Sauce was Salsa. Now that I live in the Southwest, I have been exposed to some of the best Mexican food. Took me awhile to get use to it and now I love it. Especially my guacamole.

Here it is …

3/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 cloves garlic
Salt & Pepper
Fresh Jalapenos or other hot peppers – great from the garden!
Cilantro

Mix ingredients together, add meat and let marinate for two hours.
