Recipe: Chicken Tacos

Here is our recipe of the week.  Good stuff! Picture to follow the next time we make some!

The Recipe

1 tbs chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder or granulated
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp course salt

Thanks to this page for the recipe.

I chop raw chicken into cubes, cook it off in a pan with about a table spoon of olive oil (until it just changes from pink to white).

Add the entire spice mixture to the pan with about a 1/2 cup water and stir, while cooking, until it coats the chick and becomes sauce like (Monitor  this step fairly closely, if too much water cooks off it could burn the spices to the pan and infuse bad flavors.)

Serve on you preference of taco shell with your favorite toppings (we like cheese, salsa, and a tiny bit of sour cream)

What was good:

Lamb Shahi Korma - Tender pieces of Lamb cooked in a cashew nut based sauce and cream.$15.95.  This dish was literally so good it froze me mid bite. I was out to dinner with my professor and research group in undergrad and my professor saw me freeze and laughed, saying something along the lines of "well if it is THAT good..." I swear, I would go up to Maryland just to get this dish!

Naan - A soft white flour bread.$2.25 (also comes in Garlic flavor) Soft, slightly chewy, and really good dipped in the sauce of whatever you are eating. Yum!
