Mexican night

The other day Dear made dinner for the BS group -- it was a big production, but I think it turned out quite well. He began by rubbing the pieces of chicken (that he de-boned himself, of course) the previous night with Goya's Adobo. Ever since I tried the chicken burrito from Chipotle, I've fallen into salivating love with that Spanish flavor and it's so much easier to get the seasoning than it is to make from scratch. He also cleaned up strips of skirt steak the night before but he didn't season it until right before grilling. On the day of, he grilled the chicken and beef while I helped him saute the onions and peppers. We also heated up the tortillas in the oven, along with some tortilla chips. When things were done grilling and cooking, Dear wrapped everything up in foil and kept it warm in the oven.

For the tortilla chips, we got a jar of the "Deli Style" medium salsa from Costco. It was chunky, a bit spicy, pretty fresh-tasting, and almost tasted like homemade. Good thing we didn't spend too much time to make it from scratch. The cool salsa was a great complement to the warm chips.

The chicken and beef had a great smokiness, though I think the Adobo flavor has died down some since we first bought it about a year ago. They were still good and juicy though. Along with the shredded cheese and warm tortilla (all we were missing was sour cream!), we had some good eating. I had three and was clamoring for more but there was none left. :(
