To use up the salt you could follow this main course with the Apple Turnovers Recipe as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes. It is a rather inexpensive recipe for fans of Mexican food.
Instructions
In small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, the cumin and pepper; rub on chicken.
In large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
Add chicken; cook, turning occasionally, until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine Avocado, tomato, cucumber, onion, cilantro and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Serve over cumin-rubbed chicken with whole grain couscous or rice, if desired.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Willamette Valley Vineyards Whole Cluster rosé of Pinot Noir with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
