Grilled Chicken Tacos With Strawberry Salsa Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Mix the oil, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl to make a paste. Pound the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to about 1/2-inch thick. Rub the chicken all over with the chili paste.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until firm to the touch and cooked through, flipping once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then shred the meat into bite-size pieces or cut into strips. Warm the tortillas on the grill and wrap in a kitchen towel to stay warm.
• Serve the chicken tacos with shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, shredded lettuce and/or salsa for topping.

• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Toss tomatoes, strawberries, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chicken is ready to serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY SALSA

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breast halves with a meat mallet until 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper and place into a resealable plastic bag or small baking dish. Whisk together 1 serrano chile, garlic, chili powder, and 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil until incorporated, then pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, squeeze out excess air, and seal. Place into the refrigerator, and marinate for 2 to 3 hours.
• While the chicken marinates, toss the strawberries with the mint and sugar in a bowl. Cover, and refrigerate 1 hour, then fold in the remaining serrano chile, red onion, and 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let the salsa stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Cook the chicken on the grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with the strawberry salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
