• Peel and dice mango into a bowl. Set aside.
• Remove the seeds from the jalapeno, and finally chop 1/2. Add to the mango. You can chop and use the remainder for a spicier dish.
• In a small skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.
• While the oil heats, mince garlic and then saute in oil for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the mango/jalapeno mixture to the garlic/oil and heat for 3 minutes over medium.
• Add the lime/vinegar/ginger to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture should thicken from the sugar in the mango. If the chicken is still not ready, keep the mixture warm over low heat.
• Spoon the mango mixture over the cooked chicken breast and serve.

TEQUILA-LIME CHICKEN WINGS WITH SPICY AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Place the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1 tablespoon of the salt and the black pepper. Bake until the wings are completely cooked through and just beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.
• While the chicken wings bake, prepare the tequila lime sauce. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the red onion, jalapeno and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the cumin and coriander and cook until the spices are toasted and fragrant, an additional 1 minute. Add the tequila, lime juice, hot sauce and agave and bring to a boil. Continue to boil until thickened and slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Melt in the butter and cook the sauce 1 minute more. Remove from the heat.
• When the wings are cooked through and beginning to brown, remove the baking sheet and turn the oven to the broiler setting. Pour the sauce over the wings, toss to coat and put them back under the broiler to crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Top with the cilantro and serve immediately with the Spicy Avocado Crema.
• Put the crema, cilantro, lime juice, hot sauce, garlic, avocado and jalapeno in a food processor and process until completely smooth. Season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve. Can be made 1 day in advance.

SPICY TEQUILA MANGO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place mango on a plate and leave at room temperature until thawed, about 30 minutes. Mash slightly and set aside.
• When mango is almost thawed, rub chicken with salt and tenderize with a fork. Transfer to a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour on tequila and move chicken around in it with the fork. Marinate until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add mango to the chicken-tequila mixture, along with hot sauce, cider, and garlic. Let sit for at least 10 minutes or longer if you have the time.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Stir in onion. Cover with a lid and slightly caramelize for 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken-mango mixture and increase heat to high. Cook, uncovered, until alcohol had cooked off, about 5 minutes. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Cut chicken breasts into large pieces and mix it all up.

TEQUILA FLAVORED GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH MANGO CHUTNEY ON SESAME TORTILLA

Steps:

• Pulverize first 7 ingredients in blender. If sauce is too spicy for your taste, add additional small amount of orange juice and sugar to diminish the "heat". Add chopped cilantro after other ingredients blended so that the cilantro retains leafy appearance. Marinate chicken breast for 1 hour - do not marinate too long or the meat will get soft and start to cook because of the acid in the lime juice. Grill chicken breast until they have nice grill marks and are just done. Salt meat to taste. Cut slices on bias for presentation.
• Mango Chutney: Cut mango into bite size pieces, about 1/2 to 1-inch long. Reserve any mango juice for the mixture. Place all ingredients in an 8 to 10-inch frying pan and simmer on low to medium heat for 15 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and when cool place in covered container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Keeps for at least 4 to 5 days. Best served slightly chilled.
• Tortillas: Mix dry ingredients, except sesame seeds, in large bowl. Add oil to dry ingredients then slowly add warm water until a ball forms and dough does not stick to the surface. Knead briefly, cover with plastic and let rest for at least 30 minutes. Divide dough into 10 pieces.
• Roll out dough with floured rolling pin to about 7 or 8 inches or use tortilla press. Be sure to use waxed paper or parchment paper to prevent the dough from sticking to the press. Put the sesame seeds on a plate and lay the tortilla on the seeds - you can place sesame seeds on one or both sides depending on amount of sesame taste desired. Since the seeds will be cooked directly, a lot of sesame flavor will be released.
• Cook each tortilla on non-greased non-stick griddle until each side begins to brown, about 45 seconds to 1 minute per side. Some of the seeds will pop. These tortillas are best served immediately while warm. Keep them covered with a tea towel. If stored, wrap tightly and reheat before serving.
• Place tortillas on a platter, add grilled, sliced chicken and top with mango chutney. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
