CHIPOTLE CHICKEN AND CAULIFLOWER TACOS



Chipotle Chicken and Cauliflower Tacos image

At my house, I put all the fillings on the table and let everyone build their own tacos-they can choose their favorite combinations, so it's more fun and less fuss. To make these tacos meat free, simply leave out the chicken and double the amount of cauliflower.

Number Of Ingredients 16

215g (7½ oz.) can chipotle chillies in adobo sauce, chillies finely chopped and sauce reserved
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
500g (1 lb. 2 oz.) chicken thigh fillets, trimmed and quartered
500g (1 lb. 2 oz.) cauliflower florets (about 1 head)
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
12 small corn tortillas, lightly toasted
3⅓ cups (300g/10 oz.) finely shredded purple cabbage
1 cup (12g/½oz) cilantro sprigs
Pickled red onions, to serve
Lime wedges, to serve
For the lime dressing:
½ cup (140g/5 oz.) plain Greek-style yogurt
1½ tablespoons lime juice
Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 oven trays with non-stick baking paper.
  • Place the chopped chillies and reserved adobo sauce in a large bowl. Add the maple syrup, garlic and oil and mix to combine.
  • Place the chicken in a separate large bowl and top with half the chipotle mixture. Toss to coat. Add the cauliflower to the remaining chipotle mixture and toss to coat.
  • Transfer the chicken and cauliflower to the trays and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is just charred on the edges, the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  • To make the lime dressing, place the yogurt, lime juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix to combine.
  • Fill the warm tortillas with the cabbage, chicken, cauliflower and coriander. Drizzle with the lime dressing and serve with pickled onion and lime wedges.

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.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas, or as needed

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.
