Mexican Chicken Lettuce Cups

This versatile recipe can be cut down to a simple quick cooked chicken option or infused with spice by using the 2+ hour marinade method. Pick your favorite sturdy leafy green but this recipe recommends savoy cabbage for its natural cupping and flavor. Either way you'll never look at vegetation the same way again.

Fresh Mexican Pollo Asada for tacos and more

Pollo asada literally means grilled chicken. For truly delicious grilled chicken with south of the border flavor, the marinade is what’s important. We’re using mostly lime juice and cilantro to make the flavors brighter than a heavy marinade. Once it’d grilled, it’s fantastic on chips for nachos or on a salad.
