step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Remove any husks and silks from the corn; Cut the kernels off the cobs. Cut off and discard the stems of the bell peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onions.

2 Cook the rice

Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

3 Roast & slice the chicken

Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with foil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Transfer to the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Roast 18 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a cutting board; when cool enough to handle, slice crosswise.

4 Cook the chorizo

Meanwhile, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chorizo. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a large bowl.

5 Cook the vegetables

In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the corn kernels, sliced bell peppers, and sliced onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the honey (kneading the packet before opening), vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and as much of the jalapeño pepper as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Leaving the rest in the pan, transfer half the cooked vegetables to the bowl of cooked chorizo.

6 Finish & serve the sandwiches

STOP & STORE: If you’re planning to enjoy this meal at a later time, stop here and place the prepared food in airtight containers (or tightly cover with plastic wrap). Store in the refrigerator. Use the reheating instructions below to finish.

FINISH & SERVE: Halve the baguettes. Thinly slice the cheddar. Roughly chop the lettuce. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Line a sheet pan with foil. Transfer the halved baguettes to the foil, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Evenly top the bottom halves of the baguettes with the sliced cheddar. Toast in the oven 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly browned. Transfer to a work surface. In a bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, remaining cooked vegetables, and cilantro sauce; toss to combine. Assemble the sandwiches using the toasted baguettes, chipotle mayo, sliced chicken, and crispy onions. Serve the sandwiches with the salad on the side. Garnish the salad with the cotija. Enjoy!

7 Finish & serve the tacos

FINISH & SERVE: In a bowl, combine the sour cream and guacamole. Season with salt and pepper. Place the tortillas on a sheet pan. Evenly top with the monterey jack. Bake in the oven 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Transfer to a work surface. Assemble the tacos with the cheesy tortillas, cooked chorizo and vegetables, and cooked rice. Serve the tacos topped with the creamy guacamole. Enjoy!
