We eat a lot at my house so we doubled the recipe. I didn’t marinate anything. I saved half of the of the lemon and lime juice to add after cooking. Instead of store bought guacamole or salsa we skipped the salsa completely, and just mashed up 3 avacados. This was excellet. There was even a tiny bit left-over.
