3 pounds cubed boneless skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs

1/4 cup Grapefruit Juice

  • Warm tortillas – In a blender mix citrus juices, salt and Achiote Paste. Pulse until mixtures is a smooth thick liquid.

  • Pour over cubed chicken and combine. Allow chicken to rest with marinade for 20-30 minutes.
