This recipe got here collectively purely by chance. I used to be planning a basic Cuban mojo marinade comprised of olive oil, garlic, jalapeño & loads of citrus. Plans had been thwarted upon discovering olive oil & garlic had disappeared from my pantry and had been changed by an abundance of onions. I additionally had leftover shredded hen that wanted for use. So, I improvised. I despatched my daughters into the backyard to search out no matter citrus was inside attain. They returned with a few lemons, a handful of limes, and three Valencia oranges. The marinade situation was solved. A wedge of butter added some fats, whereas cooking the onions right into a deep brown burst of taste. The shredded hen added an ideal texture of crisp, and I opted out of the jalapeño protecting it easy with salt & pepper. Perfect inside a crisp lettuce cup or tortilla topped with sliced avocado & chopped cilantro, topping a contemporary salad tossed with a citrus French dressing, or stand-alone with a beneficiant facet of guacamole.
