Quick and easy chicken tinga tacos are loaded with smoky chipotle flavor. They are like my pork tinga tacos but healthier; made with chicken breast and always a hit.
This recipe for Chicken Empanadas combines shredded chicken, peppers, and olives in a guajillo chile sauce all tucked into a pastry made extra flaky by the magic of a touch of tequila in the dough. Serve as savory appetizers or as the main course with black beans and salsa. Honestly, the filling is awesome on its own over rice or as a taco.
Save this one for summer when peaches are at their peak, they make a sweet and spicy mole sauce served with grilled chicken and chayotes.
Only 6 ingredients required, and shockingly easier than you think!
One of the kid’s favorite recipes are these Chicken Street Taco. They have an addictive spice rub with just the right balance of cayenne to brown sugar that gives them a little kick but not too spicy.
Crispy chips loaded with chicken, black beans, cheese, and all the toppings.
Crispy Panko-breaded chicken milanesa tucked inside a fluffy roll with pickled fennel and carrots and swathed in a creamy basil and lime mayonnaise.
This bold Mexican chicken marinade recipe is bursting with flavor and is incredibly easy to make. It makes mouthwatering grilled chicken but is also a great marinade for grilled mushrooms, zucchini, or even tofu. Mix up a batch and keep it in your fridge for when the grilling urge strikes.
