Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat then add in the oil. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper, add it to the skillet, and cook turning once, until browned, about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined tray. Turn the skillet down to medium-low heat.
- Add the onion and garlic to the skillet, cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin and chipotle peppers and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Next, add the can of crushed tomatoes and beer then bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet then place the whole pan in the oven, uncovered for 45 minutes, turning the chicken half-way through.
- Remove the chicken from the sauce and once it's cool enough to handle shred the meat and discard the bones. Transfer the sauce to a food processor or blender and let cool for 15 minutes. Puree until smooth and season with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce over the chicken.
- Warm the tortillas by placing them directly over a gas flame to char the edges. Place on a plate, and cover with a towel to steam.
- To assemble, spoon about 3 tablespoons of chicken onto each tortilla top with crumbled cheese and chopped cilantro, serve immediately!

Steps:
- Combine the bread and egg in a large bowl; add 1 tablespoon water and mash with a potato masher or fork to make a paste. Add half each of the onion and garlic, then add the cilantro, chicken, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix with your hands until just combined. Brush a large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Shape the meat mixture into 12 meatballs and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Combine the remaining onion and garlic, the jalapeno, chipotle, tomatoes, thyme and cinnamon in a blender; pulse until smooth. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pour in the tomato puree, then add the bay leaves and cook until the sauce thickens, about 6 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 more minutes; season with salt. Bake the meatballs until they just start to brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the sauce and gently simmer, spooning the sauce over the meatballs, until cooked through, about 7 minutes. (Add a few tablespoons of water if the sauce gets too thick.) Remove the bay leaves. Cut the meatballs in half and serve in taco shells with assorted toppings. Photograph by Andrew Purcell

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the cilantro-lime cream: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, honey, lime juice, cilantro, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper and whisk together. Refrigerate until using.
- For the braised chicken: Heat a saute pan over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with the kosher salt and pepper. Add the grapeseed oil to the pan and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan; sear the chicken in batches if needed. Remove the chicken from the pan and hold in an oven-safe casserole dish for further cooking.
- Add the onions and peppers to the saute pan and cook until tender. Add the paprika, smoked paprika and chipotle peppers and saute with the peppers and onions for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and ketchup, stir and bring to a simmer. Pour the braising liquid over the chicken and cover the casserole dish with foil. Cook in the oven until the chicken is tender and falls apart, 45 minutes.
- While the chicken is still hot, shred it and return it to the braising liquid. If you are using it right away, keep the chicken hot in the braising liquid for plating. (If you are refrigerating the chicken to use later, cool it down and store it in the braising liquid. Reheat it as needed for plating.)
- For the guacamole: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. With a spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the red onions, tomatoes and cilantro and mash the ingredients together. Season with salt and lime juice.
- Divide the lettuce among the taco shells. Spoon about 2 ounces of the braised chicken into each shell. Top with guacamole, a tablespoon of cilantro-lime cream and 2 sprigs cilantro.
CHIPOTLE-BRAISED PORK TACOS
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with some salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cilantro stems and cook, stirring once or twice, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, chipotle and adobo sauce.
- Season the pork with some salt, add it to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring once or twice, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the chicken stock and lime zest and juice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using your hands, shape the masa into 6 even balls. Cut some wax paper into a few squares slightly larger than the tortilla press. Spray 2 pieces with some nonstick spray. Sandwich a ball of masa between the pieces of wax paper, sprayed sides against the dough, and press to flatten. Remove the tortilla and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough, using new pieces of wax paper if necessary.
- Heat a cast-iron griddle or pan over medium-high heat and cook the tortillas until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Keep warm while you finish the pork.
- Taste the pork and adjust the seasoning as needed. Fold some pork in each tortilla and top with the queso fresco, some cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
BASIC CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TACOS
This is very basic. My husband isn't a fan of veggies in things, so if you add onions and peppers even better! It can get very spicy so this isn't a dish for bland food lovers - even the 'mild' ways to cook it have a bite.

Steps:
- Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag; add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and 1/2 of the beer. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; pour chicken and marinade into the hot oil. Cook and stir, adding the remaining beer, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Shred chicken in the skillet using 2 forks and serve in corn tortillas.

- Heat a large, heavy-bottom pot over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt. Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Work in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pot; there should be plenty of space around each piece of chicken. Once seared, transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Add the red onions to the pot. Sauté until tender and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Season well with a pinch of salt.
- Stir in the garlic, cumin seeds, and ground coriander. Let cook another minute or so until fragrant. Stir in the chipotles, adobo sauce, pomegranate juice, and honey. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Meanwhile, blend the fire-roasted tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Pour the tomatoes into the pot and stir to combine. Transfer the chicken back to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot, and let simmer on low for 18-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and fork-tender.
