    We thoroughly enjoyed this dish!!! I did marinate the meat longer than the time, and both myself and my DH feel it was to "limey". But, good none-the-less. I highly recommend not marinating it too long. This was a nice "fresh" tasting dish. I loved the salsa that accompanied this. I made a little extra for snacking. Thank you Sharlene for this wonderful little recipe you have.

Also added some fresh squeezed oj and a couple of sliced jalepenos. Loved it! Thanks for posting.
