Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Heat oil in a nonstick frying pan.

• Add the chorizo and the scallions to the chicken mixture and stir to combine; cook until just warmed through, stirring occasionally.
• Add salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired, to taste.
• To assemble the tacos, place 1 to 2 spoonfuls of the chicken mixture in the bottom of a warm taco shell.
• Top with a generous sprinkle of chopped tomato, shredded iceberg and grated Cheddar cheese.

CHORIZO TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
• Over a hot grill or in a clean skillet over high heat, heat the tortillas until warmed through and pliable. Divide the sausage filling among the warm tortillas and serve with desired accompaniments.

SPICY CHICKEN AND CHORIZO TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Season the chicken breasts with the cumin, coriander, oregano and some salt and pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet along with the chorizo and drizzle all of the meats with the oil. Roast the chicken and chorizo until the chicken is cooked through and chorizo are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• While the meats are roasting prepare the pickled jalapenos. In a small pot, combine the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt; bring the liquids to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat, toss in the jalapenos, and let sit for at least 10 minutes. Set aside.
• While the meats are roasting prepare the chipotle cream. In a small bowl stir together the sour cream, chipotle in adobo, adobo sauce, honey or agave and a pinch of salt. Set aside. When the meats come out of the oven, thinly slice them and squeeze the juice of the lime over top.
• Serve the sliced chicken and chorizo along with the pickled jalapenos, chipotle cream, tortillas, and whatever taco toppings you like.
