SPICY CHICKEN AND CHORIZO TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Season the chicken breasts with the cumin, coriander, oregano and some salt and pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet along with the chorizo and drizzle all of the meats with the oil. Roast the chicken and chorizo until the chicken is cooked through and chorizo are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• While the meats are roasting prepare the pickled jalapenos. In a small pot, combine the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt; bring the liquids to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat, toss in the jalapenos, and let sit for at least 10 minutes. Set aside.
• While the meats are roasting prepare the chipotle cream. In a small bowl stir together the sour cream, chipotle in adobo, adobo sauce, honey or agave and a pinch of salt. Set aside. When the meats come out of the oven, thinly slice them and squeeze the juice of the lime over top.

INSTANT POT® CHICKEN TACOS WITH CHORIZO AND SAFFRON YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine chicken, chicken broth, onion, and jalapenos in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute chorizo in the hot pan until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Mix yogurt and saffron together in an electric blender or food processor until blended and saffron starts to turn the yogurt yellow. Place in the refrigerator until chicken is done.
• Lightly oil a pan placed over medium heat. Fry tortillas lightly until the bubbles in the flour turn brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Release pressure from the cooker using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Cut up chicken breast. Place some onto each tortilla with some of the cooked onion and jalapenos. Drizzle with saffron yogurt sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
