If you’re not a big fan of tequila then trust me, you wouldn’t get enough of it when it’s in this salad!
Why tequila chicken? Well, with all the margaritas that have been flying around in my house (not that I’m complaining or anything), I need to do something with the bottle of tequila BESIDES drink it on my own since the husband doesn’t like it and the rest of my household contains little people under legal drinking age. I’m guessing a few of us might have some left over bottles hanging around after today is over. Wait. Leftover alcohol? WHAT? You all know how much I love to re-use dressings into marinades, right? Well, I kinda spiked this avocado crema ⇓⇓⇓ with some boozy marinade I reserved BEFORE marinading the chicken. Don’t yell at me. No poisoning happens over here.
Breaking in this new grill pan my mama bought me to help me cook better (wait….), the first thing to hit it was boozed chicken. Welcome home grill pan. This chicken has so much flavour, we stood over the hot plate eating while fanning before it made it to the salad. Which meant I had to go get MORE chicken and marinade it all over again for this post. The Tequila tenderises these thighs even more than they already are, while the honey caramelises them with a crispy coating.
Then, to keep the Taco feeling going, I heated some flour tortillas up until they were golden in a separate pan, and cut them into strips. Totally optional and totally worth it.
Proceed to drown in a creamy avocado dressing and prepare for your MIND to be BLOWN. Of course I’m going to say serve these with Margaritas —either a strawberry and mango marg or a classic margarita slushy. Or both.
