It’s Taco Tuesday!

September 15, 2020

It’s Taco Tuesday! . I know, I know... the picture is more about the toppings than the main ingredient of tacos - chicken. But can you blame me? Look at those colors!!! And aren’t tacos all about the toppings and condiments? In our house, if it’s not a taco bar, then it’s not a taco night. 😀😀 . Any how, let me get to the main ingredient - the Cajun chicken. To be honest, I can’t take credit for the chicken, it’s all the husband. He starts off with organic boneless chicken thighs, drizzles some oil and generously rubs on cajun spice on either side of the thighs. They go into the oven at 450F for approx 20 minutes. This cooks the outer skin and locks in the juices. Next turn the temperature down to 350F and cook for approx another 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through but soft. Finally broil for a few to get chars (optional). Dice into cubes and your main ingredient is ready for tacos. For the tacos, we like steamed soft tortillas. Pile up the chicken and top with your choice of toppings and condiments. Toppings pictured here - simple diced tomatoes, mex blend shredded cheese, shredded lettuce and shredded cabbage. Unfortunately, didn’t get a picture with the condiments - but a cilantro sour cream sauce and some hot New Orleans sauces make for the best side kicks for this meal. .
