DINNER RECIPE:

Chipotle Lime Meat Marinade

It seems like I always have some chipotle chilies in adobo sauce in my fridge. Mexican pork roast is my go to recipe for using the chipotle chilies, but a body can only handle so much of that at a time. So I have to get creative with how I use the rest of the can of chipotle chilies.

Makes: Enough for 2 pounds of meat

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 McCormick Mojito Lime Marinade Packet

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons white vinegar

¼ cup lime or lemon juice

4 to 6 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, or what is left in an already opened can (the more chilies you use the spicier your meat will turn out)

2 pounds of your favorite meat to marinade (I used pork chops for this but I really think anything would be tasty)

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients together in a plastic bag, except the meat. Mix until the powder is dissolved and the mixture is homogenous.

Add the meat to the bag and squish the marinade around to make sure all parts of the meat have been covered. 

Press out all the air from the bag, or as much air as you can get out, and then refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Cook the meat your favorite way and enjoy!
