Ingredients

1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon New Mexican chile powder
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano (or Italian dried oregano is fine)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 8 ounces each
1 ripe Haas avocado, diced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Three 6-inch blue or white corn tortillas
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lime juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
Sprig fresh cilantro

Steps:

For the chicken: Preheat 2 cast-iron grill pans over medium heat.
Whisk together the ancho chile powder, New Mexican chile powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, orange juice, lime juice and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the canola oil and whisk. Put the chicken in the marinade, turning the chicken to coat both sides.
Grill the chicken until golden brown and slightly charred on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 more minutes; the juices should run clear and the meat thermometer should read 165 degrees F.
Meanwhile, for the salad: Put the avocado, onions, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil in a medium bowl. Fold the ingredients with a rubber spatula, gently breaking up the avocado in the process.
To serve: Grill the tortillas on both sides until lightly marked and warmed through, about 10 seconds per side. Then fold in half and place on the side of a serving dish.
Place the chicken in the center of the serving dish and top with a scoop of the salad. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice and garnish with a sprig of cilantro.

Ingredients

Adobo Seasoning
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons granulated onion
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Chicken and Rice
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, cut in half
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large Spanish onion, finely diced
2 medium red bell peppers, finely diced
1 serrano chile, finely diced
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 cups long-grain rice
5 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock (see page 220)
1 bay leaf
1 cup frozen peas (not thawed)
1 cup pitted picholine olives
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Grated zest and juice of 1 fresh lime

Steps:

To make the adobo seasoning, mix together the salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, cumin, paprika, black pepper, turmeric, and oregano in a small bowl.
To cook the chicken, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, and then with the adobo seasoning mixture.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Place the chicken in the oil, skin side down, in batches if necessary, and sauté until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet, place it in the oven, and roast until tender and just cooked through, about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from the Dutch oven, and place it back over high heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, and serrano chile, and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the rice to the pan, stir to coat it in the mixture, and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and bay leaf, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Then stir well, cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until all the stock has been absorbed and the rice is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. During the last few minutes of cooking, quickly stir in the peas, cover, and continue cooking.
Remove the pan from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes, covered. Then remove the lid, fluff the rice, and gently fold in the olives, cilantro, oregano, lime zest, and juice. Add the chicken and stir to combine.
