Tequila Chicken Tacos

http://www.today.com/id/51732642/ns/today-food/#.UYazsIy9KSN

These were pretty good.  Quite different from the standard taco affair with the pepitas mole.

3 whole chicken breasts
2 oz tequila
1 lime juiced
1 orange juiced
2 T chopped cilantro
1 T or so olive oil
1 T garlic pepper seasoning.  We used pepper plus lemon garlic rub

Combine in bag, marinade for a half hour or so.

The pepitas mole was very rich.  The below recipe made a whole lot of sauce.  Could make half next time.

6 oz toasted pepitas
1 habanero (seeded)
2 limes juiced
1 scallion
1/2 c cilantro
2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes

Add all but the tomatoes plus some tomato liquid to a blender and blend until smooth.  Blend tomatoes slightly and then mix together.
