• Raise the heat to medium high and add the jalapenos and onions. Cook, stirring for a minute or two, then add the chicken in an even layer. Sprinkle over the taco seasoning, add a pinch of salt and cook, without stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir, then continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

STEAK TACOS WITH JAMAICA FLOWER AND JALAPENO SYRUP

Steps:

• Pour the jamaica concentrate, bay leaves, whole cloves, black pepper and salt into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until it reduces to half the original amount.
• Let the marinade cool and pour over the flank steak in a baking dish or container. Cover and let it marinade anywhere from 1 to 24 hours.
• Set grill pan, grill or saute pan over medium-high heat. Brush with a light coat of oil. Sprinkle meat with a bit more salt.
• Grill meat anywhere from 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on how cooked you want it.
• Meanwhile, pour the marinade into a saucepan set over medium heat and drop in the halved serrano or jalapeño chile. Let the sauce reduce for 15 minutes, or until it coats the back of a wooden spoon. The syrup will thicken considerably as it cools. Remove from heat and let cool.
• When the meat is ready, slice it thin and if you want, cut it into chunks. Heat corn tortillas over a comal or skillet over medium heat, it will take about a minute per side. For each taco, add a couple tablespoons or slices of meat in the center of each tortillas, a slice of avocado, some crumbled queso fresco and drizzle some of the jamaica and syrup on top. Enjoy your tacos!
