We just got a fresh batch of limes and they smelled so delicious that it reminded us of lime chicken. So we had to whip up a batch for old time sake and it came out amazingly. Some of us can not eat hot foods so we had to take out the chili and cumin. To our surprise it was still incredible. For this recipe those ingredients are strictly optional because it is so delicious with or without them.
