Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
Kosher salt
3 scallions, sliced
Juice of 1 lime
For Serving: Warm tortillas

Steps:

  • Mix together the paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chile powder, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the chicken in a container with the oil and lime juice, then rub with the spice mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours before cooking.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and tender, about 5 minutes.

  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Grill the chicken breasts until marked and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 10 minutes and then thinly slice.
  • Serve with the warm tortillas, corn and mushroom topping, chopped cilantro, guacamole, sliced pickled jalapenos, lime wedges, shredded pepper jack cheese, salsa, chopped scallions and sour cream.
