Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, 6 ounces each

Salt and pepper

1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika, a palmful

1/2 tablespoon ground cumin

1/2 tablespoon ground coriander

2 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)

2 ripe Hass avocados

Juice of 1 lime or lemon

1 small red onion, chopped

2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and thinly sliced

1 large garlic clove, finely chopped

1 (15-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes, drained

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped

4 red leaf lettuce leaves

4 crusty, cornmeal-topped kaiser rolls, split

Flavored specialty corn or blue corn chips

Preparation

Step 1
Heat a griddle pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Combine the remaining spices in a small bowl and rub all over the chicken. Brush the griddle or skillet with a tablespoon of EVOO. Cook the chicken for 11 to 12 minutes, turning once. Remove from the pan and let cool enough to handle; slice each piece on an angle into 4 pieces.
Step 3
Halve, pit, and peel the avocados and dress with lime or lemon juice. Cut each half into 4 slices.
Step 4
In a small skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of EVOO. Add the onions, jalapeños, and garlic and sauté for a few minutes to soften. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and mix in the cilantro.
Step 5
Place the lettuce on the roll bottoms and top each with sliced chicken and avocado, alternating the slices. Spoon on some warm salsa and cover with a roll top. Serve with a few chips alongside.
