BAJA GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS
I modified this taco recipe for a party of 40, and it was a huge hit. Thighs are a good substitute for chicken breasts, especially with marinating and grilling. They do not dry out as quickly and are very forgiving. Fill warm tortillas with sauteed chicken and serve with your choice of garnishes and black bean and corn salad.

DAN'S BAJA CHICKEN
In my many years in the kitchen, I stumbled upon this recipe in my experimentations with cooking for clients who wanted something "different." The most important part of this recipe is the marinade. Once marinated, the chicken can be broiled, grilled, fried, or cooked any other way, depending on your dietary wishes/requirements. Best served with "Party Rice" (which I will post a recipe for later ;-)), this dish also goes well with baked potatoes or Penne tossed in garlic and olive oil.

Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, grill the chicken breasts instead of baking them.
- To make the salad ahead of time, cook and shred the chicken, and make the dressing. Store the chicken and dressing separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, assemble the salad and top with the dressing.
- If you don't have any taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
- For a spicier salad, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the taco seasoning or dressing.
- To make the salad more filling, add some cooked quinoa or black beans.
- For a vegetarian version of the salad, omit the chicken and add some grilled tofu or tempeh instead.

Baja chicken salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
