RANCHERA:
1. Add all ingredients (except the ranchera) to a bowl and mix well to create the marinade. Taste the marinade before adding the ranchera.
2. Add the ranchera to the marinade and store in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour but preferably overnight.
3. When ready to cook, add the marinated ranchera to a hot greased grill (medium high heat) and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side depending on your preferred finish.
NOPALES:
1. Add a light layer of oil to both sides of the nopales. Add garlic salt to both sides to taste.
2. Add the nopales to a hot greased grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
CORN ON THE COB/ELOTES:
