Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 cup tequila
  • 6 ounces honey
  • 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
  • zest of half of a lime
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce of choice
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • olive oil
Instructions

  1. In a small bowl combine chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, cumin, pepper, cinnamon, and ground red pepper. Stir until evenly combined and set aside.

  2. In a saucepan combine tequila, honey, orange juice, lime juice, lime zest, hot sauce, and 2 tsps of the taco seasoning. Whisk together, bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. The mixture will thicken more as it cools.

  3. Brush the chicken with olive oil and season both sides with the remaining taco seasoning.

  4. Grill the chicken 3-4 minutes per side. Brush both sides with the tequila glaze and grill for another 2 minutes per side.

  5. Serve with extra tequila glaze for dipping.
