Onions(diced)
Fresh tomato (diced)
Garlic (chopped)
Cilantro (chopped)
Tortillas
Avocado (diced)
Mexican cheese
Salt
Black pepper
Crushed red pepper

Season and flash fry your chicken in 3 tbs Olive or vegetable oil with 1 tbs diced onions for 2 mins in a non stick skillet/pot (high heat just to seal in flavor and generate brown crust)

Add 2-3 cups of water

Add another tbs chopped onions, tomato and garlic

Add salt, black pepper and half table spoon crushed pepper

Let simmer for 10 mins, (do not boil, just let it cook gently with lil disruption to avoid cloudiness and preserve freshness) it will allow the crust and flavor on the chicken to dissolve and bond gently in the soup with the rest of the ingredients.

Turn off heat and let rest for 3-5 mins

Add, plate and serve with cheese (mexican cheese) and choped cilantro, avocado, onions and tortillas chips.

Enjoy..........

Two of my favorite things to eat -- crepes and vanilla ice cream

Please when will you be opening your restaurant? NY to CA is far but it won't be when GOOD food is involved.

Crepes Suzette Recipe

2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
Orange butter, recipe follows
1 tablespoon butter to brush the crepe pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add milk and eggs to blender and combine. Add the flour 1/2 a cup at a time, blending after each addition to ensure there are no lumps. Add pinch of salt and melted butter then blend for 30 seconds until you achieve a smooth, silky consistency. Set aside in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to rest. While it rests make the orange butter sauce.

Dip a piece of kitchen paper in butter and grease a small frying pan. Ladle a spoonful of batter into the pan. With a flick of the wrist swivel the pan in order to get a nice even covering all over. A good crepe should be paper- thin. Cook on a high heat and flip it over when you see the edge turning golden brown. Remove crepes from pan and fold in half and press into a muffin tray to form little cup shapes. Bake in hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes until slightly crispy and brown around the edges, the middle should remain spongy and light.

Orange Butter:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest

Combine the butter, sugar, citrus juices, and zest to a small saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes until it caramelizes. It should be a golden color. Remove from heat, add the Grand Marnier, return to the heat and continue to whisk and reduce until syrupy-about 10 minutes. When done, set to the side.

To assemble, place crepe "cup" in the center of plate and place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the cup. Drizzle with the orange butter sauce

With 2 eggs

Crepes

Orange Butter Sauce

Enjoy.........

Thanks yessie, you're right, distance has no bearing when it comes to good food.....lol.
