EASY LIGHT CITRUS MARINADE Or use a combination of lime juice and tequilla--on the meat 45 min is the max time to marinate. why? so tender it will lose all texture after about 2 hours. Zier's Prime Meats recommends using this on your boneless breasts also, but not more than a few hours as it may get a little too salty look for this recipe online: the juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup salt
2 oz tequilla
3 C water
1 T sugar
* optional two crushed garlic cloves
6 bnls skinless breast halves/ or for 3 pork tenderloins cut recipe in 1/2

Grill breasts for 7 to 8min per side on medium heat. pork tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes turning 2 to 3 times. Never baste the chicken with this or any other marinade and discard it after use to prevent cross contamination of salmonella. Do not use the same platter or pan that had raw food of any kind on it.
