Original recipe for serving:

4-8 corn tortillas
Avocado oil
1 batch Mexican Fries
1 avocado, mashed with a pinch of salt, pepper and chopped cilantro + lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Greek yogurt or sour cream
queso fresco or cotija cheese, crumbed

My way of serving:

4-8 whole-wheat tortillas (not fried), heated on a skillet
1 avocado, mashed with a pinch of salt, pepper and chopped cilantro + lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
Greek yogurt or sour cream
queso fresco or cotija cheese, crumbed

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil, about 1/4 teaspoon at a time, add one tortilla and cook for about 30-60 seconds per side, until just golden and bubbly. Remove and let drain on a paper towel. Set aside until ready to use.

Preheat your grill to medium high heat.

In a medium bowl mix together the BBQ Sauce , tequila, lime zest, orange zest, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, cumin, salt and pepper.

In another medium size bowl combine the chicken, olive oil and 1/4 cup of the BBQ Margarita sauce. Toss well. When the grill is hot, grill the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and allow to rest five minutes. After five minutes shred the chicken and toss with 1/2 cup of the BBQ Sauce. Keep warm.

While the chicken is grilling toss together the salsa. In a medium bowl combine the diced tomatoes, diced mango, jalapeños, green onions, cilantro. lime zest, orange zest, lime juice, tequila and salt. If desired you can add the salsa to a blender and pulse until your desired consistency is reached. I leave mine chunky.

To serve, grab a crispy corn tortilla and spread the avocado over the bottom. Now add the shredded chicken. Drizzle with a little BBQ sauce and top with Mexican Fries , Greek yogurt, salsa, cheese and cilantro...fiesta time!
