Method

Coat skillet with olive oil, season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in skillet on medium high heat, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and add tequila, lime juice, and sugar. Simmer until reduced by 2/3. Let cool. Break up chicken into bite-sized pieces. Prepare flour tortillas by brushing with salt and lime juice, then cooking in oven until crisp. Put all ingredients together in a bowl, breaking up the tortillas into small pieces, and using the tequila and lime sauce as dressing. Add more olive oil and lime juice to taste.

 

Notes: I like to use the fire roasted frozen corn. Pepitas are Mexican roated pumpkin seeds.

 

Number of Servings: 6-8
