While tequila, Mexico’s most renowned export, is most commonly used in margaritas, it also makes an excellent marinade ingredient for grilling:
Golden Margarita Glaze
Brush on a little fiesta flavor every time you grill with this luscious, zesty margarita glaze. Great on fish and shellfish, chicken, pork or vegetables.
- Makes about 1/2 cup or 4 servings.
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Jose Cuervo Golden Margarita
- 1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. taco seasoning or ground cumin
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
Blend all ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside. Brush your food with glaze during the last 1 to 2 minutes of grilling. Drizzle any unused glaze over your food just before serving.
