1 cup vegetable oil |
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro |

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper |
3 tablespoons tequila (optional) |

Directions:
1. Cut limes in half. Squeeze juice into a shallow dish or large zip-top plastic freezer bag; add squeezed lime halves to juice. Add margarita mix, next 4 ingredients, and, if desired, tequila. Whisk (or seal bag and shake) to blend. Add chicken; cover or seal, and chill at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade. Set chicken aside.
