Top it off with a nice cold Limeade!!



I give this recipe a 5-star rating! I made it for Jason on his 30th Cinco de Mayo Birthday and he LOVED it! It was a hit! Such good flavors melded into the meat and not spicy! Even though it was very time consuming, it is well worth it, especially for a party!!
