Recipe #28: chicken tacos for a party

 Let’s make chicken tacos for a small dinner party! Olé!

Ingredients:

Directions:

Cut up the chicken breasts into strips like so:

That’s a lot of chicken, but it is for a party.

Slice up two onions, retaining some slices for taco garnish:

Heat up some canola oil in a large nonstick pan on medium high heat and sauté the onions:

Sauté the onions until browning:

Then add the chicken slices to the pan:

Sauté the chicken-onion combo until the chicken sears all over:

That chicken doesn’t look seared because there’s too much chicken crowded in my pan and it’s steaming instead of searing. Shame.

Add the spices to the pan: a generous amount of chili powder, chipotle powder and ground cumin:

Stir and sauté, and maybe you need more chilli powder:

Now lower the heat to medium and put a lid on to ensure fully cooked chicken:

Meanwhile, warm your tortillas in a cloth napkin or tea towel in the microwave, 1-2 minutes or so:

Set your party table with everything: the cooked chicken, the warm tortillas, cheeses (I have grated cheddar and crumbled feta), salsa, raw onions, chipotle hot sauce, sprigs of cilantro, lime wedges, or whatever else you like:

Demonstrate for your party guests how to assemble your tacos:

And let your guests build their own adventure tacos:

Buen provecho!
