Tex Mex Tuesday


I know i've done this before, but it's so yummy and easy you need to try it. I started out with 1.5 lbs of organic chicken tenders that I marinated in Goya Mojo marinade sauce for about 1 hour. This stuff is so good and so economical, so why bother making it myself? While my chix marinated I made my  bean & corn salsa. This salsa is so great because you can really add whatever you like or what you have in the frig or pantry- green pepper, yellow pepper, tomatoes, your favorite beans.  My salsa is made with: 1 can of black beans rinsed and drained, 1 c of frozen corn, 1/2 red onion small diced, 1/2 red pepper small diced, 1 jalapeƱo chopped, 1 handful cilantro chopped, juice of 1 lime, 1 tbs cumin, 1 tsp hot hungarian paprika and kosher salt to taste. Just mix all this together in a med size bowl and let the flavors mesh together. At this point oil the grates of your grill and heat 1 side on low and the other side on high. After your grill is heated place your chicken tenders on the high side for about 2 minutes, turn and grill for an additional 2 minutes, always keeping grill top open. Then move the tenders to the low side and continue to grill with lid closed about 2 more minutes or until the temp reaches about 166 degrees F. Chicken tenders cook very quickly, so it's best not to leave them. Remove from heat and sprinkle chicken with quesadilla cheese found in your grocers packaged cheese section in the dairy aisle. Serve the chicken with brown rice, black bean & corn salsa with avocado, sour cream and tortilla chips. Try this, it's really yummy and easy. Doesn't it look tasty? Good Eats.
