Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
16 6-inch flour tortillas
3 large, ripe Haas avocado, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tomatillos, husked, washed and coarsely chopped
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons paprika
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 cup olive oil
8 chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • For the grilled tortillas: Brush each tortilla on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill for 1 minute on each side. Yield: 8 servings For the Avocado and Grilled Tomatillo salsa: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Yield: 2 cups
  • For the marinade and the chicken breasts: Whisk together all ingredients except olive oil in a large bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Reserve 1 cup of the marinade and set aside. Transfer remaining marinade to a large shallow baking dish, add chicken breast and turn to coat completely. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning once.
  • Preheat grill. Remove chicken from marinade and season on both sides with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the breasts, skin-side down, for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Turn the breasts over and baste with some of the reserved marinade and cook for 4 minutes. Baste, turn and baste again, cover the grill and cook the breasts for 4 more minutes. Repeat the process once more for a total grilling time of 16 minutes, or until the chicken is well-browned and cook through. Remove the chicken to a platter, cover and let sit 10 minutes. Serve with Grilled Tortillas and Avocado-Tomatillo Salsa on the side.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breasts on the weekend and then used them to make this dish for dinner on Monday night. It was quick and easy to make, and it was just as good as the chicken I made

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The citrusy marinade pairs perfectly with the smoky grilled tortillas and the creamy avocado-tomatillo salsa. It's a great meal for a summer cookout.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it! The chicken needs to marinate for at least 2 hours, and the tortillas need to be grilled. But the end result is a delicious and impressive meal.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the marinade and salsa. The chicken still had a great flavor without it. I also used store-bought tortillas instead of grilling my own, and they worked just fine.
