- 2 limes , juiced
- 1 orange , juiced
- 0.25 cups olive oil

Place marinated chicken breasts on the grill; close the lid. Discard the marinade. Grill, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Authentic Baja-Mexican Street Tacos (Carne Asada)
On weekend getaways from San Diego to the beaches in Ensenada and Rosarito (Baja California), I found my favorite meal in the delicious soft skirt steak tacos sold by the taqueria street vendors. This recipe tastes exactly how I remember them — without having to make the trip across the border. Muy bueno! Top with some freshly squeezed lime juice and spicy salsa if you like.
