Ingredients

  • 1 seeded and sliced jalapeño pepper
  • 4 cloves chopped and 1 clove minced for dip garlic
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1/2 zested lime
  • 1 avocado
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice

In a blender, puree until smooth the jalapeño pepper, 4 cloves garlic, vegetable oil, tomato paste, salt, honey and juice of 1 1/2 limes. Pour marinade over the chicken. Add the lime zest and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
