Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat grill.
- Combine the smoked paprika, black pepper, chili powder and brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Then add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the spices and combine until you have a paste.
- Massage the spice paste into the chicken.
- Once the grill is hot, place the chicken on the grates.
- Allow the chicken to cook about 5-7 minutes. The cooking time is dependent upon how hot your grill is. The cooking times I am giving are for a grill at about 350 degrees. Some grills get much hotter than that so you need to pay close attention to the cooking times.
- While the chicken is cooking, you can toss the onions and jalapenos with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- When you are ready to flip the chicken you can also add the onion and jalapenos to the grill.
- Let the chicken cook for another 5-7 minutes.
- Let the onions and jalapenos cook until they are soft and have a nice grill marks on them. Then remove them from the grill.
- Once the chicken is cooked remove the grill and let sit for a few minutes before slicing.
- Place the chicken, onions, jalapenos, avocado, cilantro and salsa verde in a tortilla to serve.
Notes
Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Food poisoning really spoils the fun of a summer BBQ.
