Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon New Mexican chile powder
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano (or Italian dried oregano is fine)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 8 ounces each
1 ripe Haas avocado, diced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Three 6-inch blue or white corn tortillas
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lime juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
Sprig fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat 2 cast-iron grill pans over medium heat.
  • Whisk together the ancho chile powder, New Mexican chile powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, orange juice, lime juice and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the canola oil and whisk. Put the chicken in the marinade, turning the chicken to coat both sides.
  • Grill the chicken until golden brown and slightly charred on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 more minutes; the juices should run clear and the meat thermometer should read 165 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, for the salad: Put the avocado, onions, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil in a medium bowl. Fold the ingredients with a rubber spatula, gently breaking up the avocado in the process.
  • To serve: Grill the tortillas on both sides until lightly marked and warmed through, about 10 seconds per side. Then fold in half and place on the side of a serving dish.
  • Place the chicken in the center of the serving dish and top with a scoop of the salad. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice and garnish with a sprig of cilantro.
