Finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh basil and add to ¼ cup Chef LaLa Homemade Chipotle Oil. Heat oil on a low flame for 10 minutes in order to infuse basil flavor. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, slice fresh tomato and fresh mozzarella. Stack on a plate and drizzle with basil infused Chef LaLa Homemade Chipotle Oil. Top with sliced scallions.

Chicken Wings Asada

Yes, Carne Asada means char–broiled Steak. But this marinade— made with garlic, onion, citrus and soy sauce—is so diverse that I decided to use it with chicken wings. 1 bottle of Chef LaLa Homemade Carne Asada Marinade is sufficient for 2–3 pounds of wings. I marinaded them for 2 hours and drained the excess marinade. I placed the wings on a baking sheet and placed them in a preheated 400 degrees Fº oven for 45 minutes – 1 hour, or until juices run clear.

Chipotle 3-minute Green Beans

The simplest things in life are the best! I took ½ pound of green beans, rinsed them and trimmed them. In a hot pan, I added 1 Tablespoon of Chef LaLa Homemade Chipotle Flavored Oil. Then I tossed the green beans for 3–5 minutes. Season with kosher salt.

YUM!

Chicken Chile Verde Tacos

One of the ways I keep healthy is by making several meals out of one main meal I cooked on the weekend — like a Roasted Chicken. Now if you don’t have the time to roast your own chicken, pick one up at the grocery store, It is a healthy quick alternative to fast food. 

I take 1 cup of water, 1 bottle of Chef LaLa Homemade Tomatillo – Jalapeño Green Sauce and 1/2 of cooked chicken sheredded and cook for 5–10 minutes on low until it simmers and heats through.  

Meanwhile I heat some corn tortillas on the stove until pliable. I fill them with chicken and done!

Servings: Depends on how fat your tacos are ;) — around 6–8 tacos.
