Ingredients

3 Tbsp. orange juice 2 Tbsp. olive oil 2 Tbsp. teriyaki or soy sauce 2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. choice of seasoning:

Cuban Island Spice

Mexican Street Corn Seasoning, or

Kicked-Up Mexican Street Corn Seasoning

1 lbs. your choice of protein, vegetable, or fruit*

Directions

Step 1 Whisk together orange juice, olive oil, teriyaki or soy sauce, and 2 Tbsp. seasoning. Place protein in a zip top storage bag or other sealable container. Pour marinade over top to cover and refrigerate for at least 30 min. or up to overnight.

Step 2 When ready to cook, remove protein from marinade (reserving marinade) and sprinkle with remaining seasoning. Cook over medium to medium-high heat (either directly on a gas or charcoal grill or in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop) until desired doneness is reached.

Step 3 Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan and simmer until reduced and thickened into a sauce to serve on top or alongside the cooked protein.
