Ingredients
1/4 cup reposado tequila
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips

Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add the sliced chicken breast and stir well together. Chill for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat an oven to 400°F. Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm in the oven, 10 minutes.
