Ingredients:

Marinade:
  • 2/3 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, defrosted
  • 1/2 cup tequila

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
Orange Salsa:
  • 2 oranges, peeled, diced
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
