Recipes

Ingredients:

Spiced Chicken–>

  • 1 pound of chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • juice from 1/2 lime
  • zest from 1 lime

Pineapple Salsa–>

  • 1 red onion
  • 1 jalepano (seeds removed)
  • 1 lime
  • 1 pineapple
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • salt & pepper

Avocado Crema (yes, please!)

  • 1 large avocado
  • 1/2 cup organic sour cream
  • 2 tbsp avocado mayo
  • juice of 1/2 a lime
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Also needed: Tortillas, Shredded Cheddar Cheese & Avocado Oil

Directions:

  1. Marinate the chicken in a large ziplock bag. Add all the ingredients into the bag. Shake well. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour up to 24 hours.
  2. Slice up all the veggies and pineapple. Drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cook on grill until they start to brown.
  3. Once veggies & fruit have cooled, dice up everything besides lime into small cubes for the salsa. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño first if you don’t want your salsa spicy. Then squeeze the lime over the salsa, add salt and pepper then stir well.

4. Make the avocado crema by adding all ingredients into blender, blend well then place in fridge for at least 30 minutes.

5.Remove the chicken from the ziplock bag and cook on the grill for about 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Once cooked, remove from grill and let sit for about 3-5 minutes then slice thin.

6. In a skillet, heat up some avocado oil. Once heated, place a soft tortilla shell. Add cheese to the top and once it starts to melt flip it and add cheese to the opposite side. Next add the chicken and fold in half for a taco.

7. Remove the tortilla from heat and add the salsa and avocado crema. Repeat!
