Fiesta Lime Chicken

Ingredients
4 boneless chicken breasts, trimmed, and cut in half horizontally
Marinade:
1/3 C teriyaki sauce
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 C tequilla (don't panic :)  I didn't put this in!  I did 1/4 cup water and 1/4 tsp agave)
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp mesquite liquid smoke
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Marinade meat 2-3 hours or overnight in refrigerator.
Grill chicken until thoroughly cooked (do not overcook though).

Sauce:
1/2 C ranch (can make your own, but this time I did Hidden Valley)
1/2 C salsa ( I used our homemade canned salsa)

Tortilla Strips:
6 corn tortillas sliced thinly with a pizza cutter
1/8 C olive oil for frying
Heat oil and fry strips until crisp.  Let sit on paper towel to cool.

Assembly and Freezer Directions:
After grilling chicken, place cooked chicken on a foil lined cookie sheet.  Spoon sauce over each piece of chicken.  Then sprinkle with Montery Jack and Chedder Cheese.

Bake in oven @ 350 for 10 min.

Serve on plates with a small pile of tortilla strips under the chicken.
Sprinkle with fresh lime juice and ENJOY!
