Marinade fabulous. Served with store bought fresh salsa. Great dinner!
Poor, salsa was watery and not worth the effort
Next time I'll cut in to 1 - 11/2 inch pieces before marinating to maximize flavor as well as add a bit more lime to marinade. Salsa was delicious as it was; may add a bit of jalapeƱo next time
