Chicken street tacos

Chicken thigh seasoned with adobo, black pepper, and paprika(for color). Cooked in a skillet with olive oil. Cut into roughly half inch pieces.

Topped with a mixture of diced onions, cilantro, soy sauce, and fresh squeezed lime juice.

Warm tortillas in a pan with a small bit of olive oil, and fill with chicken and onion mixture. I use flour “fajita sized” tortillas but that’s a personal preference, corn tortillas also work great. Squeeze a fresh lime quarter over it before eating.

Blackberry Mojito

Muddle ~8 mint leaves in a Collins glass. Add 2oz white rum, 1oz lime juice, 1/4oz simple syrup, 1/4oz blackberry syrup. Add ice and stir. Fill with club soda and give a final stir. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

The blackberry syrup was 1:1:1 by volume blackberries, sugar, and water brought to a short boil and then strained.

    Damn, I just majorly fucked up some taco preparation, not nearly enough seasoning. Those look delicious. Never considered using soy sauce tbh

      Soy sauce is super useful for so many things. It’s basically concentrated savory/salt juice. It does a great job of bringing out the savory flavors of whatever you’re eating and binding everything together. Similar thing as salt where in small amounts it just makes everything taste more

      I did make it with some sort of fake chicken for my partner who’s :im-vegan: and it turned out great. Important part is that it’s somewhat tough (tofu doesn’t work) and can be covered in adobo.

        probably a good thing to mention they’re fake chicken lol, avoids needless frustration, you can see why they would be hostile
