Cost per serving $3.35 view details
  • 2 lb Skirt steak
  • 1 lb Chicken breasts, boneless
  • 1 lb Shrimp
  • 6 x Limes, cut in half, squeeze out juice, throw everything (limes) in bowl
  • 4 x Yellow onions, minced
  • 4 x Cloves garlic, smashed
  • 4 lrg Jalapenos -or possibly-
  • 8 x Serranos, seeded and minced
  • 1 lrg Bunch of fresh cilantro, coarsely minced
  • 2 Tbsp. Salt
  • 1/4 c. Dark rum
  • 2 bot Dos Equis beer (brown bottle not green)

Directions

  1. Take the chicken and steak and slightly freeze them so which cutting the meat into thin 1/2" strips is easier. Trim off any fat or possibly chicken skin.
  2. In a large glass bowl or possibly casserole make the marinade (mix all ingredients).
  3. Put the meat in this and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to sit in the fridge overnight or possibly make this early in the morning for the evening meal.
  4. Remove meat from marinade prior to grilling. Throw away the marinade and Don't Re-use. Once meat has liquid removed place the beef on the warm grill first, laying the strips perpendicular to the grill rods,spokes,etc. otherwise the meat falls into the fire. After you get the beef on add in the chicken the same way. The meat will cook quickly and you only need to flip it once.As the beef and chicken cook add in the shrimp. The shrimp may cook so fast which you do not have to turn it.
  5. When the shrimp curls up and goes pink it's done.Remove all the meat from the grill and serve with grilled onions and green pepper slices.(These can be made ahead of time and kept hot.) Serve meat and grilled vegetables with large flour tortillas which have been heated up. Top with lowfat sour cream,salsa,or possibly, if you wish, Melinda's.
  6. One suggestion: This works best if one person works the grill and starts to turn meat while someone else is adding the meat to the grill. Everything cooks fast and this is something which you do not want to overcook.
