Grilled Lime Chicken and Spanish Tortillas





















Spanish Tortilla

Thanks again Simply Recipes!!! She always has the best stuff!


I started off by geting my chicken breasts marinating:

Cilantro, lime, oil, oregano and EVOO















I also had to get my back beans simmering because they took an hour and a half to cook. So in the pot they went with cilantro stems, bay leaves and garlic to simmer there little hearts away.













I also sliced the onions and set them aside for later:















Then it was time to start my spanish tortilla. I sliced up a couple of yukon gold potatoes and fried them up in the my cast iron with some EVOO














While those bad boys got a tan, I cut up some green onions


 

When the potatoes were done I let the oil drain off and salted them



Cook your green onions a bit and then layer your potatoes on top. Then you get to pour your eggs on top. Let it cook through a bit and then toss it in the oven to make sure you get the middle cooked too!


Under the broiler:


And while that was busy good I made myself a "bloody" good cocktail inspired by True Blood and this recipe.







Some parmesan cheese was added for good measure and it was sooooo good!

Now back to our chicken dish...

red onions layered with the marinated chicken and sauce baked in the oven


After baking for a few minutes I grilled the chicken while the onions cooked in the oven
