Jim's Wahoo's Chicken

We call this Wahoo's Chicken. But, I've never eaten this at the actual restaurant. It is something you might find there, the same styleat least. All the credit goes to Jim on this one. This is his recipe.

You take a bowl and put white rice in it (or cilantro-lime rice). Then, you put on top: this chicken, shredded lettuce, salsa (we like fresh, homemade salsa-see separate recipe) and black beans (see below). Try to not over-eat!

To make the chicken, put your chicken pieces (4 boneless, skinless breasts usually serves 4-5 adults + 1 kid) on a very well pam-sprayed broiling pan. If some of the pieces are thick I cut them in 1/2. Then, generously sprinkle on the following:

Cayenne pepper (don't skimp too much)
Salt
Pepper
Onion (salt or powder)
Garlic (salt or powder)
a double-dose of Cumin (it smells stronger than it tastes)
*Is you are using onion or garlic SALT, be careful how much regular salt you put on

The chicken should be pretty "dirty" on top when its has enough flavor. Broil chicken on low, checking on it and turning it once. When it is done, cut it into bite-size pieces.

Black beans

Open can (we usually do 2), put in microwave-safe bowl. Add garlic salt. Lots. Warm up in microwave.
