SPICY TEX MEX CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• In a small bowl mix together the spices and then sprinkle over both sides of the chicken.
• Spray the chicken with non stick cooking spray and place on preheated grill. Cover.
• Grill 7-10 minutes or until no longer pink in the center, turning once.
• Serve with avocado salsa or on a salad.
• I like to pound the chicken to an even thickness for faster and more even cooking.

SMOKY TEX-MEX BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat; fry the garlic and onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add the ketchup, water, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, mustard, salt and liquid smoke; bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

TEX-MEX TOMATO SOUP AND GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle pan for the grilled cheese over medium heat.
• Heat a medium soup pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and melt 2 tablespoons butter into the oil. Add the garlic, onions, chipotle, adobo sauce and some salt and pepper. Partially cover the pot and cook to soften, 10 minutes or so. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes, then deglaze the pan with 2 cups of the chicken stock and transfer to a food processor. Add the tomatoes and process until smooth. Pour the soup back into pot and add the remainder of stock. Simmer at a low bubble while you make the grilled cheese.
• Lightly butter 1 side of the bread slices. Make the cheese sandwiches with, and grill until crispy and the cheese melts.
• Stir the sour cream into the tomato soup and serve in shallow bowls with chives to garnish, and grilled cheese on the side for dipping.

• Cut tops off the tomatoes and discard. Cut jalapeno in half, scrape the skin off, and discard seeds. Quarter the onion. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skins.
• Place the grilled vegetables in a blender. Add lime juice and salt; blend until smooth. Add cilantro and pulse until evenly blended.
• Transfer shrimp to the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes per side. Serve with the salsa.
