The longer you leave the meat in the marinade the more tender the meat will be -
this is great with cheaper/toughter cuts of meat -
this can be done several days before cooking
I prefer to slice the meat (put in freezer till solid enough to cut) then slice thin slices and put in marinade, mixing thoroughly and refrigerate -
turning occassionally to keep the marinade well mixed in
Grill over BBQ -
this goes quickly, so you'll be putting meat on & taking some off -
put cooked meat in covered roaster to keep warm -
serve w/flour tortillas and all the fixings (guacamole, shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa, peppers, tomatoes, onions, refried beans, black beans, etc) -
enjoy
note: if you prefer to keep the meat whole & slice later, you can marinade it a lot longer to make sure its all absorbed throughout the meat -
baste w/the marinade as it cooks
