Our Family's Secret CARNE ASADA Recipe

Ingredients

• 7 Lime (juiced, about 1/2 cup juice)
• 2 caps Chef Marito Seasoning (approx. 2 teaspoons, can substitute with any all‑purpose seasoning blend)
• 1/2 cup Sunny D (orange flavored drink) (use chilled, can substitute with orange juice)
• 1.5 lb Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless) (cut into 1‑inch strips or bite‑size pieces)
• 1 tsp Seasoning Salt (sprinkle both sides of the meat)

Instructions

1. Juice the Limes

   Roll the limes on the countertop, cut them in half, and squeeze to extract about 1/2 cup of juice into a mixing bowl.

   Time: PT5M

2. Create the Marinade

   Add the two caps of Chef Marito seasoning and 1/2 cup of Sunny D to the lime juice. Whisk until fully combined.

3. Prepare the Chicken
