Chipotle Corn Salsa
Makes about 4 cups to serve 8 to 10
This crunchy, smoky dip is delicious served with chips, but it’s equally good as a relish to serve on the side of grilled pork, seafood, poultry or beef. Since you might have most of the ingredients in your pantry, this is a great spur of the moment dip to throw together.
4 green onions, chopped, white and some of the tender green parts
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups corn kernels, either fresh cut from the cob, or frozen defrosted
2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, finely minced
½ cup finely chopped red pepper
½ cup finely chopped jicama
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a small mixing bowl, stir together all the ingredients, until blended. Taste and correct for seasoning. Diva Do-Ahead: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 3 days before serving with tortilla chips.

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup gold tequila
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, tenders removed (use for another purpose)
1. In a food processor or blender, combine the oil, juices, tequila, cumin, chipotle, and cilantro and process until smooth
2. Put the chicken in a zipper-top plastic bag, pour in the marinade, seal the bag, and turn the chicken to coat.
3. Do-Ahead: At this point, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before continuing.]
4. Build a hot charcoal fire preheat a gas grill, or grill pan, or the broiler for 10 minutes. Drain the chicken and pat dry. Grill or broil on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or a silicone liner until cooked through and golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

For the Confetti Onions and Peppers
Serves 6 to 8
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large sweet yellow onions, thinly sliced into half moons
4 sweet mixed peppers, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
½ teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons Tequila
1. Heat the oil in a large, deep sauté pan, and add the onions, sautéing for about 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
2. Add the peppers, and continue to sauté another 5 minutes, until the peppers begin to soften. Add the sugar, salt and pepper, and continue to sauté until the onions begin to turn golden and the mixture is softened. Add the Tequila and sauté another 2 minutes, to let the Tequila evaporate. Taste for seasoning, and adjust adding more salt or pepper as necessary.
