Wow! This was so yummy...I cut the recipe down to 2.5 servings...there was lots of the mayo mixture leftover...the only negative thing was that the mayo mixture looked muddy...I think the dried tomatoes were the cause but it sure was delicious...I prepared everything at the same time so I only needed 2 hours of marinading time...the only change I made was to substitute cilantro for the parsley...only because I love cilantro with tequila...oh! btw...I served these with margarita's...thanks for posting the recipe...=)
