Ingredients for Tortilla Crusted Chicken: 2 tsp. shallots, minced
1 cup red-chili, blue-corn or corn tortilla chips, broken
1 Tbs. paprika
1 Tbs. ground chili powder
1/2 cup white breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. minced jalapeno
2 tsp. coarse salt
Four 3 oz. chicken breasts, skinned and boneless
3 Tbs. canola oil Ingredients for Mango Vinegar: 1 cup mango, diced
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt Preparation: Mince 2 teaspoons of shallots, and break up 1 cup of tortilla chips and place In a food processor, combine shallots, tortilla chips, paprika, chili powder, breadcrumbs, flour and minced jalapeno. Add coarse salt (2 teaspoons if you used a milder tortilla chip, less if you used a spicier chip). Process ingredients for 3 minutes, or until texture resembles cornmeal. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides; dip in buttermilk and then in tortilla mixture. In a saute pan with 3 tablespoons canola oil, on both sides until golden brown. Remove chicken to baking dish and bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through. To make the mango vinegar, combine mango, champagne vinegar, vanilla extract, orange juice, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring. Remove from heat, transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. It can be served cold or warm. Chef's Notes: - Another easy Santa Fe dish is Cowboy Ribs (figure A), ribeye steak seasoned with salt and pepper on both sides and seared in a saute pan with a little oil until it's done. Remove steak and deglaze the pan with beer. Add butter, minced jalapenos, chopped tomatoes, corn and salt and pepper to taste; simmer a few minutes longer. Pour over the steak and serve.
- Here's a great idea for mashed potatoes; roast corn in a skillet with a little butter. Add chili peppers, cilantro or whatever ingredients you wish. Stir all ingredients into cooked mashed potatoes for extra flavor (figure B).
