May give this one a try tonight. Thought I would pass it on as its certainly quick and easy for a work night dinner.
Pair with: A red Rioja, such as Bodegas Ramírez Rioja Ramírez de la Piscina Selección Crianza 2007 (88 points, $15)
Total Time: 30 minutes
Approximate Food Cost: $22
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
Can of chipotle chiles in adobo; 1 chipotle, finely chopped, to start
1 rotisserie chicken, meat coarsely shredded
2 limes, cut into wedges
12 corn tortillas
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 avocado, sliced
1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, toast the unpeeled garlic cloves over medium-high heat until the skin begins to brown, around 5 minutes. Peel the garlic. Puree the tomatoes, garlic and chipotle chile in a food processor until smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over high heat until the mixture boils. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the shredded chicken and the juice from one lime. Let this mixture cook until the sauce has thickened, around 20 minutes.
3. Toast the corn tortillas over an open flame on a gas burner until the tortillas develop a nice char, flipping once. (Alternatively, wrap the tortillas in damp cloth towels and microwave on high until warmed through, around 3 minutes.)
4. Adjust the seasoning of the chicken with salt to taste, and add more minced chiles, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. Assemble the tacos with the chicken, avocado, cilantro and a wedge of lime. Serves 4.
Note: You can easily substitute mushrooms, sliced steak or lamb in this recipe.
