We loved this! So fast and easy, great flavor, it is now one of our favorites! Great summer dinner on the grill with the shrimp marinated a bit before while your in the pool. Great with potato salad.

Nice core recipe. I had to add more ingredients for more flavor. I added two Roma tomatoes and a Serrano pepper. Also I put more chili powder than asked for. Turned out very good. :)
