7 1/2 ounces water
1 1/4 pounds chicken breast
1 1/2 ounces lime juice
3/4 ounces garlic
1/4 tablespoon salt

  • For Chicken Fajita Filling: First, marinate the chicken breast in lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, oil, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, red chilies and liquid smoke. After marinated and cooked on both sides on the grill, cut into thin strips.
  • For tomatillo Sauce: Roast the tomatillos and serrano peppers on the grill. Use Mexican stone bowl mortar to mash up the ingredients. Mash all the ingredients, keeping it chunky. Add salt to taste. To assemble Tacos Al Carbon: Fill 1 tortilla with the chicken and tomatillo sauce and roll.

This recipe was way too spicy for me. I had to add a lot of sour cream to cool it down.

This dish is a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The pineapple and the spices really helped to balance out the flavor of the pork.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I usually make a big batch of pork carnitas and then use the leftovers to make these tacos.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork came out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.
