Southern Influences Add Character (November 5 – November 11, 2017)

In the Caribbean, there exists a dish called Chicken Chiquita. From its name, it announces that it consists of chicken and bananas. What a delightful combination. The island spices, including nutmeg and curry, enhance the flavoring. However, I decided to make the Chicken Chiquita into soft tacos with a Tex-Mex twist. Wow! What a difference. Simply, boil and debone the chicken. Prepare white corn tortillas, by steaming. Fill the soft tacos with fresh boiled chicken. Add toppings of green (verde) salsa (mixed with sour cream to slightly tone-down the spice); diced green tomatoes; avocado; Monterrey Jack cheese and crumbled fried plantain chips for the topping! It is unique and wonderful, while stretching those family dollars. © Kelly McBride Loft
