CHILI LIME CHICKEN
This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.

Steps:
- Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
- Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will make the chicken tenders easier to cut and cook evenly.
- Cut the chicken tenders into 1-inch wide strips. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Season the chicken tenders with your favorite spices. Some popular options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt.
- Coat the chicken tenders in a mixture of flour and cornstarch. This will help them get crispy when they're fried.
- Fry the chicken tenders in hot oil until they're golden brown and cooked through. Be sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your chicken tenders.
- Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey mustard.
