2:00
of delicious chicken tacos First we'll
2:03
sauté our shredded chicken with a
2:04
symphony of spices creating a taste
2:07
explosion in every bite We're starting
2:09
with smoked paprika for that deep smoky
2:11
flavor Then comes the earthy warmth of

cumin a touch of chili powder for a
2:16
little kick a sprinkle of oregano and a
2:19
generous dash of garlic powder While the

chicken simmers let's whip up a quick
2:23
pico de gallo fresh tomatoes some diced
2:26
onion a handful of chopped cilantro a
2:28
squeeze of lime and a finely diced
2:30
jalapeno And don't forget a creamy
2:32
avocado sauce to drizzle on top Warm
2:35
your tortillas giving them a slight char
2:37
for extra flavor Then generously layer
2:39
on the seasoned chicken a spoonful of
2:42
that vibrant pico a drizzle of the cool
2:44
avocado crema and a final sprinkle of
2:46
your favorite cheese Each bite spicy

Fried rice when done properly it's a
3:19
culinary delight a symphony of flavors
3:22
and textures dancing together in perfect
3:24
harmony It shouldn't be treated as a
3:26
last resort a way to use up leftovers
3:28
Instead view it as a canvas for
3:30
creativity a dish that deserves respect
3:33
and attention to detail The foundation
3:35
of great fried rice is cold day old rice
3:38
This allows the grains to stay separate
3:40
and avoid becoming mushy during the
3:42
cooking process Heat a generous amount
3:44
of oil in a hot walk or large pan The
3:47
high heat is crucial for achieving that
3:49
signature walk hay or breath of the walk
3:51
a slightly smoky flavor that elevates
3:53
the dish Add finely minced ginger and
3:56
garlic to the hot oil allowing their
3:58
aromatic oils to infuse the pan Next
4:01
introduce diced carrots and peas or any
4:03
other vegetables you desire Push the
4:05
veggies aside to create a well Crack in
4:08
an egg and scramble it directly in the
4:10
pan Once the egg is cooked mix
4:12
everything together ensuring the
4:14
vegetables and egg are evenly
4:15
distributed Now add the cold rice
4:18
breaking up any clumps with your spatula
4:20
or cooking spoon Toss in some shredded
4:23
cooked chicken or any protein of your
4:25
choice Season generously with both light
4:28
and dark soy sauce adjusting to your
4:29
preference Finally remove the pan from
4:32
the heat and finish with a drizzle of
4:34
fragrant sesame oil Top it all off with
4:36
a generous sprinkle of fresh spring
4:38
onions for a pop of color and flavor In
