Non-alcoholic alternatives can provide similar flavor without alcohol.

To a small bowl add tequila, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, cumin, honey, smoked paprika, ancho chili powder, salt, pepper and olive oil. Whisk to combine.

To a large ziplock bag add chicken breasts. Pour marinade over the chicken breast and seal. Let chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Heat grill to medium heat, about 350-375°F.

Place marinated chicken on the grill. WARNING: there is tequila in the marinade so it is going to flare up as soon as you put it on the grill.

Grill each side for approximately 4-6 minutes.

Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
