Spicy Tex Mex Dipping Sauce For Grilled Food Recipes

ANOTHER FIVE SPICE MARINADE & DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together ingredients and chill until ready to use.
• To USE: Divide mixture in half and use one portion to marinade meat at least 1 hour (chicken, beef, or pork); after meat has marinated, drain and discard and then cook meat according to your preferred method. Boil remaining portion of marinade until reduced slightly and use to brush on meat while cooking or as a dip for cooked meat.

TEX-MEX GRILLED SHRIMP AND SALSA

Steps:

• Combine shrimp, olive oil, paprika, chili powder, and cumin in a large bowl. Gently stir until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the salsa.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno for 4 minutes. Flip and grill until tomatoes and jalapenos are blistered, about 4 minutes more.
• Cut tops off the tomatoes and discard. Cut jalapeno in half, scrape the skin off, and discard seeds. Quarter the onion. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skins.
• Place the grilled vegetables in a blender. Add lime juice and salt; blend until smooth. Add cilantro and pulse until evenly blended.
• Transfer shrimp to the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes per side. Serve with the salsa.

SMOKY TEX-MEX BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat; fry the garlic and onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add the ketchup, water, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, mustard, salt and liquid smoke; bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Let cool before using for marinating or basting. If using as a dipping sauce, measure off the required amount, reheat and thin with a little water.

SPICY TEX MEX CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• In a small bowl mix together the spices and then sprinkle over both sides of the chicken.
• Spray the chicken with non stick cooking spray and place on preheated grill. Cover.
• Grill 7-10 minutes or until no longer pink in the center, turning once.
• Serve with avocado salsa or on a salad.
• I like to pound the chicken to an even thickness for faster and more even cooking.
