Best Cinco Diablo Recipes

SUNNY'S DIABLO DIABLO DIABLO BURGER

Steps:

• Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Portion the nacho cheese dip into 6 equal portions using a small ice cream scoop and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or you can do this step the day before and freeze overnight.
• When ready to make the burgers, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high.
• Add the beef into a large bowl and sprinkle on the chiles, sambal, 2 teaspoons salt and a few hefty grinds of black pepper. Gently mix with your less dominate hand until just combined. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Take 1 portion and flatten slightly. Add 1 portion of the frozen nacho cheese to the center of the patty and wrap the edges up and around, pinching to cover. Repeat with the remaining portions.
• Add the burgers to the grill over direct heat and cook until the burgers easily release from the grill, about 4 minutes. Then, gently flip and cook the burgers on the other side just 2 minutes more. Transfer the burgers to a serving platter and allow to cool slightly while grilling the buns.
• Brush the cut side of each bun with some of the melted butter. Grill the buns buttered-side down until golden and toasted.
• Sprinkle the avocado slices with the lime juice and a sprinkle of salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the hot sauce with the confectioners' sugar until dissolved, then add the lettuce and toss to coat.
• Build the burgers by starting with a bottom bun, then add a slice of pepper Jack cheese, a burger, avocado slices, a mound of dressed lettuce and a top bun. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

CAFE DIABLO

Steps:

• Heat water, brown sugar, chocolate, cloves, and cinnamon to boiling in 3-quart saucepan; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
• Stir in coffee. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes.
• Stir in vanilla.
• Strain coffee through 4 thicknesses of cheesecloth.
• Keep hot in saucepan after straining.
• Heat brandy just until warm in small, long-handled saucepan.
• Remove from heat; ignite. Pour flaming brandy over coffee. Allow flame to burn out; stir.
• Pour coffee into cups or mugs.
• Top each with whipped cream and 1 Tbsp liqueur.
• Garnish with cinnamon stick, if desired.

CHICKEN DIABLO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the hot pepper sauce, sour cream, ketchup and honey until smooth. Season with paprika and cumin. Set aside half of the sauce for serving later, then place chicken breasts in the remaining sauce to marinate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Place chicken breasts coated with marinade into the skillet, and cook until nicely browned on each side, and meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat reserved marinade in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Serve chicken breasts over white rice, or over salad greens with sauce spooned over the top.
