National Margarita Day

According to Tin Lizzy's (the source of all my news) today is National Margarita Day!

Pin It

To celebrate, here is a recipe for Skinny Margs:

1 oz. tequila (I used Patron Silver)

1 oz. Triple Sec

1/2 lime

1/4 lemon

Splash of OJ

Splash of Fresca

In a shaker squeeze in your lime & lemon juice, add tequila, triple sec, and OJ. 

Mix with ice. 

Pour into a fun glass and top with a splash of Fresca.

Enjoy!

To accompany our margs, the BF and I made chicken fajitas!

Marinade chicken tenders overnight, we used a lime teriyaki marinade.  Grill on medium heat until cooked completely, about 3 mins. on each side.

Coat a saute pan in vegetable oil and heat to medium.  Add in sliced red onion, green pepper & red pepper - season with seasoned salt and chili powder. 

Once the veggies are cooked to your desired crunchiness add in the chicken.

Place one chicken tender and some veggies on a flour tortilla, sprinkle with cheese and top with salsa.

The BF made a special salsa for our fajitas.  It included: mango, peaches, pineapple, lime juice, red onion, cilantro, orange pepper, and siracha.  It was spicy and sweet all at the same time - YUM!



Which do you like better: frozen or on the rocks margaritas?

Do you like salt?

I prefer on the rocks margs with no salt.  I am a huge fan of the skinny version, I would much rather taste tequila than sugary mix.
