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.
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
Oh crap I didn’t see that rule, fixed!
