And so it begins (Mexican Grilled Chicken)
So I tried to make Paleo tortillas and do fajitas for dinner tonight. I used the recipe from Fast Paleo (http://fastpaleo.com/enchilada-spiced-beef-wraps/) The batter was way too thick at first so I added about 1/4 cup of water. It made an interesting crepe like thing, not really a tortilla though. SO we didn't eat them for dinner. I did however make some guacamole and saute some peppers and onions and grilled some chicken that I did in a simple marinade.
Mexican Grilled Chicken
2 chicken Breasts (or thighs)
Juice of 2 limes
1 Tablespoon Cholula hot sauce
1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
1 Clove Garlic - minced
about 1/2 teaspoon of salt
4 or 5 grinds of black pepper
about 1/4 cup olive oil (no need to use the best stuff here, but always use EVOO)
add everything except the chicken and the oil in a bowl and mix
Whisk while drizzling in the olive oil to create an emulsion.
If the chicken breast are thick butterfly them or hammer them out to get them 1/4 inch or less
add chicken breast and marinade in a ziptop bag and place in a bowl and into the fridge
marinade for at least 2 hours, I like about 4
grill on a hot grill about 5 minutes on a side, let rest of 10 minutes, slice and enjoy
