MEXICAN MARTINI

Mexican Martini image

Originally the Mexican Martini was just a large margarita in Austin, Tex. But the presentation calls for the margarita to be served in a martini glass, with olives on a spear. Because it is about twice as large as a regular drink, customers are usually given the cocktail shaker and invited to pour it themselves.

CROCK-POT MEXICAN ORANGE CHICKEN (POLLO CON NARANJA)

Crock-Pot Mexican Orange Chicken (Pollo Con Naranja) image

My husband had open-heart surgery when we were living on the Texas-Mexican border in 2001. The wife of his heart-surgeon, Velda de La Garza, wrote a heart-healthy Mexican cookbook (Healthy Mexican Cooking), which we purchased while he was in the hospital. This dish is one of our favorites -- an easy Mexican take on that old favorite, Orange Chicken. We found it needed a little more spice than called for; you could either up the cayenne or leave the jalapeno seeds in. But then we like spicy food!

Add orange juice, garlic, pepper, cumin, cayenne, jalapeno and salt to blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Place chicken pieces in crock pot and pour orange juice mixture over chicken. Top with onions and potatoes.

Great served over rice!
