This marinade is great for grilled chicken but you could try it with pork or fish also.

How To Make cilantro lime marinade

Step 1

Place marinade ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Add marinade and chicken to a large Ziploc bag. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours, turning occasionally. Remove chicken and discard marinade. Grill over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side.

Step 2

These are the wraps I made with the grilled chicken. I sliced the breasts, topped them with a black bean and corn salsa, and spooned a cumin sour cream sauce on top. Wrapped it all up in a flour tortilla. Yum!
