yeah, heat is a personal thing. good call on dialing down. i tend, or tended, to overheat my food. i am eating much less spicy these days per the doc's reccos.Using this recipe?
Pollo asado - for chicken tacos or fajitas
Pollo Asado - Mexican grilled chicken - either taco (chunked cut) or fajita style (served with grilled peppers and onions). This cook was 7 boneless thighs and 4 boneless skinless breasts so adapt your amounts according to your cook. Kosher salt to taste - I used around 1 Tbs Black pepper to...tvwbb.com
I've used your recipe a couple times with a couple changes:
1/2 tsp cayenne (a full tsp combined with 1 TBL Chili is a tad hot for the wifey)
I skip the Chili flakes (again for the wifey)
We mostly use thighs, but if I do use Breasts, I pound the Breasts first (can I say that here?)
It's a very good recipe, I too let it go overnight
It's a beautiful day. I'm stuck in the office. First time this month I'd rather be out on the road than in the office. Has not been fun driving to ID and back this monthweather looks like a beautiful day today. finally we're in the early spring groove here!!!
yeah, that winter ID weather can be challenging in your big rig. a few more storms here and we should be done. and then sunny skies till November.It's a beautiful day. I'm stuck in the office.

308 days and 30 minutesLooks great, Brett. Love that recipe.
Chuck...when is retirement??
The salsa had loads of flavor so the cilantro onions weren’t needed. The chicken took on its marinade well so I felt that another flavor level wasn’t necessary.Lookin good, did you miss the raw onion and cilantro?......Like miss it as in you wish you had them or you didn't need them.
I go back and forth and being the only cilantro eater in the house I feel like I miss it.
A marg would have done me well. The sun had set by dinner time though. Daylight makes all food taste better, I think.Like being at the Royal Hideaway, Playa del Carmen
Ugh, I meant to post this in the thread asking for recipes for chicken and veggies. lol.My favorite goto for my fajita/taco style chicken is:
View attachment 87072
Put the contents of entire can in a blender and add 1 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup white vinegar (1/2 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup white vinegar, for spicy) as well as about 3 or 4 tablespoons of my taco seasoning, or you could use any rub or taco seasoning you like.
My taco seasoning:
2 parts chili powder
2 parts cumin
2 parts paprika
2 part garlic powder
2 part onion powder
2 part black pepper
1 part cayenne pepper
1 part oregano
1 part salt
Blend it all until it's smooth and put in a container to stay in the fridge. I love this because I can make it and it lasts for 4 or 5 cooks. I've used it on chicken, pork chops, and pork loins.
When it's time for chicken or pork, I scoop out about 3 or 4 tablespoons of the mixture into a bowl to let it warm back up into a liquid then I brush it on all sides of the meat at least 30 minutes prior to grilling, but have done overnight as well.
This is what I came up with when my daughter was obsessed with Qdoba chicken and wanted me to recreate it. It's pretty spot on.
I can't get over how cooking that style and being simple is where it is at.....we cook like that all the time and it is great.The salsa had loads of flavor so the cilantro onions weren’t needed. The chicken took on its marinade well so I felt that another flavor level wasn’t necessary.
5 of these, a Coors light and I was good. Had some chips and salsa too. Simple is good sometimes. Just enjoy the flavor train.
Street tacos are like 4.5 inches in diameter. Like 3 bite tacos. Regular tacos are like 6-7 inches diameter. Those are much larger. 2-3 of those stuffed and I’m done.I can't get over how cooking that style and being simple is where it is at.....we cook like that all the time and it great.
5 tacos......must have been a hard day at the office.....I used to be able to eat 5 at one time
That's what it is.....I go for 2 and sometimes stretch it out for 3 if they are not really full.Street tacos are like 4.5 inches in diameter. Like 3 bite tacos. Regular tacos are like 6-7 inches diameter. Those are much larger. 2-3 of those stuffed and I’m done.
