Baked chipotle chicken with black bean guacamole recipe
- Cuisine: Mexican
- Prep Time: 30 min(s)
- Cook Time: 1 hr(s)
- Serves 4
Mexico's most defining ingredient is the chilli and there are over 100 varieties used in Mexican food. In this recipe, I have used chipotle paste, a paste which is made from the chipotle, a smoke-dried jalapeño chilli. The chipotle chilli imparts a mild heat, yet earthy and smoky flavour, and the paste is readily available in supermarkets along with the jalapeño chillies in the Mexican section. The black bean guacamole is made with a classic avocado mix and the addition of black and kidney beans. It makes a great side to the baked chicken, or by adding greens, makes a fun packed lunch.
Serve with the baked chicken, light sour cream and warmed flour tortillas. This simple dish works well for a mid-week meal or even on the barbecue.

Hot Tips
Pebre
The way the onions are prepared for the Pebre is a revelation and crucial for the right taste and texture. To finely chopped onion, mix through raw sugar and hot water then allow it to stand to mellow the acidity. Rinse and mix through salt in the same way.
