Method

Salsa Fresca

• 1 medium red onion, chopped
• 2 jalapeños, chopped
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• A generous handful of cilantro, finely chopped
• Freshly squeezed juice from 1 juicy lime
• a dash of red wine vinegar
• a dash of olive oil

Mix together all ingredients and set aside.

Chicken

• Marinate the chicken tenders in the Al Pastor spice rub or whatever spices you like. A simple cumin, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder combination works too. Let it sit for 5 minutes while you get all the other ingredients for the toppings etc.
• Cook the tenders in a heavy bottom sauté pan on medium heat in a couple of tbsp oil. Turn after 5 minutes. Cook for another 4-5 minutes till the chicken is cooked. This is fast so watch out not to overcook!
• Take the chicken off the heat and cut into slices for the tacos.

Serve It Up

• Warm up the tortillas in a hot cast iron pan. You may or may not choose to use a small amount of oil while heating the tortillas.
• To plate up the tacos, start with the tortillas. Add a few pieces of sliced chicken on each tortilla. then add a couple of spoons of the salsa fresca and a dollop of sour cream on top. Serve with the sliced avocado, lime wedges and jalapeno slices.

These chicken tacos are deceptively simple but taste so delicious!!
