This is very similar to something that was served at the Ninfa's restaurants in Houston. It was always sitting on the tables, along with the chips and salsa, to munch on while waiting to be served. The marinade improves with age and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 months. I like to make these the day before I plan to serve them. A great addition to your Mexican fiesta fare.Originally from the R.S.V.P. section of a January 1979 issue of Bon Apetit. Recipe requested from The Annex restaurant in San Diego. Ingredients:
