Pollo Asado Tacos

[Eric_B]

Tried out Brett’s pollo asado recipe tonight and it was amazing. Marinated boneless skinless skin breast for 5 hours then grilled on the kettle. Diced after a short rest and served on homemade corn tortillas topped with homemade salsa and cilantro. This is definitely going in the regular rotation.

Hell of a cook! From start to finish. How was the homemade salsa?

I gather you prepared the homemade tortillas and homemade salsa? Nice cook and how do you make your salsa?

Nicely done. And homemade tortillas pushed that one above and beyond.

I roasted garlic and jalapeños on the stove over medium heat for 10-15 minutes while I roasted tomatoes under the broiler. Removed the stems from the jalapenos and pulsed in a food processor a few times then added the tomatoes pulsing a few more time. I like my salsa with a few chunks and not completely puréed. I added that mixture to a bowlwith some finely diced onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

I’ve used the grill to roast everything too. For this cook I made the salsa in the morning and it was raining out so did everything inside.

The salsa was great. It’s one we’ve made before. Sometimes we’ll swap out tomatoes for tomatillos.

Here’s the link to the thread with the recipe. We made the recipe as is. It has some heat to it, but easy enough to dial back if you want it milder.

From his posts it looks like Brett makes these a lot and after trying it I can see why.
