Grilled Chili Lime Chicken With Strawberry Avocado Salsa Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS WITH STRAWBERRY SALSA

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and add the oil, tequila, chili powder, cumin, the grated zest of both limes and some salt and pepper. Seal the bag and squish it all together. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• While the chicken is marinating, make the salsa. Put the strawberries in a bowl along with the onions, bell peppers, jalapenos and most of the cilantro, reserving some for garnish. Add some salt and the juice of 1 of the limes. Mix it all together, cover and refrigerate.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off any excess marinade. Grill until the chicken is well browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove and let rest on a plate. When just cool enough to handle, shred the chicken with a fork.
• To serve: remove the salsa from the fridge, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice. Heat the tortillas over a flame or in a microwave and keep warm. Fill a tortilla with some of the shredded chicken and top with some salsa. Serve topped with extra cilantro and the cheese, if using. Cut some wedges from the remaining lime to serve on the side.

GRILLED CHILI-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large zipper bag. Squish to combine. Add chicken, turn to coat well. Refrigerate and marinate for about 3 hours or so.
• Heat grill to medium high. Remove chicken and discard remaining marinade. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. This works well on an indoor or outdoor grill, but I wouldn't recommend baking it. If you absolutely can't grill it, you might get away with searing it in a skillet.
• Leftovers can be sliced and frozen to be used later in other recipes. (See above).

• Combine cilantro, club soda, olive oil, honey, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender. Process marinade until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and gently pound using a meat mallet to about 1/2-inch thickness. Place in a large bowl and pour marinade over chicken. Let sit for about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Toss tomatoes, strawberries, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chicken is ready to serve.
• Grill chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink inside and juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Spoon salsa over grilled chicken.
