This was really good. I did make my marinade and put my meat in a bag and froze it till the day I was ready to use it. Also with Avocado Salsa I used canned fire roasted tomatoes instead of fresh. I served all this on a bed of romaine with shredded colby jack cheese and used home made tomato salsa for my dressing. What a great meal! I will definately be making this again.

The thing I loved about this was that once you have it made and it's marinating,it only takes a few minutes before you have a yummy meal, I had mine for lunch after being out all morning and coming home starving this was perfect. The salsa was delicious, didn't change a thing. I used limes for my marinade and it was quite a strong flavour in the meat but we enjoyed it thoroughly will definetly be making again, thanks Pam-I -Am!!!
