POLLO LUCAS TACOS - CHICKEN TACOS
Lucas is slang for crazy in Spanish and it is also the name of a sweet-and-sour seasoning that is used on everything from fruit to candy and is even sometimes used to rim the glass of beer in Mexico. Here it is used in an unusual way- the flavoring for grilled chicken. It is a bit spicy so adjust to your own tastes. The time does not include the time to marinate the chicken. This recipe is adapted from Baja: Cooking on the Edge.

Steps:
- In a nonreactive bowl, combine the chicken, lemon juice, salt, oregano, garlic, and oil; mix thoroughly. Refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
- To make the Lucas spice: Stir together the ground chile, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Half an hour before cooking, clean the grill thoroughly with a brush and wipe it down with an oil-dampened rag. Preheat the grill on high. Grill the chicken on both sides and then dust lightly with the spice mix. Grill 2 minutes more on each side.
- Remove to a platter. Cut into thin strips or dice.
- To serve, smear some beans inside a tortilla. Stud with the chicken and top with a small amount of guacamole and pico de gallo.
- Note: The chicken may be roasted instead of grilled.

TACOS DE POLLO
These chicken tacos can be simple to prepare, with practice. They are VERY delicious and addicting. In Mexico they are usually served for supper but they make a wonderful light lunch also. This is authentic and made from scratch. The flavorful results are well worth the effort. The salsa and filling can be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated. To simplify things even more you can purchase a rotisserie chicken from the deli instead of poaching your own. Prep time does not include cooking time.

- Place the chiles under the broiler until slightly charred and blistered; set aside to cool.

- TACO FILLING:.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet.
- Add onion and chile strips; saute for 1 minute but do not brown.
- Add tomatoes and continue cooking for 3 more minutes, until some of the juice has been absorbed.
- Add the shredded chicken, broth, and salt; cook until the mixture is almost dry and shiny, about 8 minutes.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
- THE TACOS:.
- Place 1/12 of the filling mixture across a corn tortilla; roll up and secure with a toothpick.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Heat enough oil in a heavy frying pan to cover the bottom liberally, but not deep.
- Place the tacos a few at a time in the hot oil, open part down.

BAJA GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS
I modified this taco recipe for a party of 40, and it was a huge hit. Thighs are a good substitute for chicken breasts, especially with marinating and grilling. They do not dry out as quickly and are very forgiving. Fill warm tortillas with sauteed chicken and serve with your choice of garnishes and black bean and corn salad.

Steps:
- Combine cumin, oregano, sazon, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add lime juice and olive oil and stir to make the marinade. Add chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 12 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill marinated chicken until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and shred chicken with forks.
- Spray canola oil onto the tortillas and heat on the grill approximately 45 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with a paper towel to keep warm. Serve with shredded chicken.
