No, this isn’t a list of oxymorons, this is the response to my latest very specific craving. I was dying for something in the Mexican category that wasn’t overly fried or cheesed. I had chicken, I had beans, I had avocados.
My mission was clear.
Click for refried black beans recipe!
Spice rub includes: cayenne, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper
First I got the beans going, which takes some time, but I think it’s worth it. Then I rubbed my boneless, skinless chicken breast with lime juice and coated it in the spice rub pictured above.
Make sure that skillet's hot with butter and oil! You only need a minute or two on each side.
Then into the oven on a bed of limes at 350 for 30 minutes (can cover chicken with limes too!)
While the chicken’s in the oven, I threw together some guacamole and a quick pico of tomatoes, onion and red bell pepper. I figured everything was spicy enough to do without fresh jalapeños on top.
Presentation makes regular food feel fancy!
Hiding food under food... very very sneaky.
There you have it! Lime chili chicken on a bed of refried beans with guacamole and pico de gallo!
Finished off here a little bit of sharp cheese and some tortilla strips!
I recommend enjoying with a Modelo Especial, but that's up to you :-
Mission accomplished. POP POP.
