Cast Iron Chicken Fajitas with Mango Habanero Salsa from Ezra Cohen Montreal

Cast Iron Chicken Fajitas
October 13, 2023 by Ezra Cohen No Comments

Chicken fajitas are known as a celebration of flavors and textures, and when paired with a mango habanero marinade, the fusion of fiery sweetness and zesty vibrance elevates the senses and creates a true symphony of culinary deliciousness in your mouth! This cast-iron chicken fajitas with mango habanero marinade recipe doesn’t just create a meal, it’s a story on a plate, bringing together the hearty satisfaction of cast-iron cooking with the exotic allure of tropical fruits and spices.

The primary protein for this dish, chicken, is known for its tender, juicy meat that becomes a sponge for every flavor. The mangoes bring a rich sweetness and the perfect base for the marinade sauce, while the habanero packs a fiery punch and provides a subtle compliment to the mango sweetness. The bell peppers and onions add a crisp colorful crunch to contrast the softness of the chicken, and dashes of garlic, lime, cilantro, and spices such as cumin, pepper, and paprika all help to deepen the flavor profile and enhance the dish’s overall complexity.

Chicken Fajitas w/Mango Habanero Salsa Ingredients List:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • Mango + Habanero Zalsa from Ezra Cohen Montreal
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Handful of cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Chicken Preparation: Thinly slice the chicken and coat it with the lime juice. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, patting the slices to ensure absorption. 
  2. Place the thinly sliced and seasoned chicken into the mango habanero salsa, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your cast iron skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  4. Once hot, add the marinated chicken slices. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
  5. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, and sauté the bell peppers and onions until they turn translucent and soften. 
  6. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, mixing everything well. Let it cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve with your favorite sides, like tortillas, sour cream, cilantro, or guacamole.

Fruit Wrap
August 17, 2023 by Ezra Cohen No Comments

Are you craving a nutritious AND delicious start to your day? Or perhaps an energizing snack for that midday slump? Dive into the world of Brazil nut recipes with our Brazil nut butter fruit wraps. This recipe is a culinary delight blending the rich flavors of Brazil nut butter with the natural sweetness of fruits.

Brought to you by Ezra Cohen Montreal, these wraps are a testament to how a simple breakfast fruit wrap recipe can evolve into a gourmet experience.

Ingredient Insight:

  1. Brazil Nut Butter: An adequate alternative to the traditional peanut or almond butter, Brazil nut butter delivers a creamy, slightly sweet flavor and is packed with selenium, a powerful antioxidant.
  2. Whole Wheat Tortilla: A soft, pliable base for our wrap. It’s not just a vehicle for the filling but adds its own subtle flavor and is rich in fibers.
  3. Seasonal Fruits: The natural sweetness, tang, and freshness of fruits like pear, apple, peach, and berries transform this wrap into a delightful treat. Each fruit brings its own nutritional profile and unique taste to the table.
  4. Ground Cinnamon: A spice that adds warmth and an aromatic sweetness, complementing both the nut butter and fruits.

Health Benefits of Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts aren’t just tasty; they’re a nutritional powerhouse. Bursting with selenium, they help support a healthy immune system and regulate thyroid function. Additionally, they offer heart-healthy unsaturated fats and are a natural source of magnesium, copper, and zinc. And to top it off, including them in your diet can benefit skin health and combat oxidative stress!

Ingredients List

  • 1 8-inch whole-grain tortilla
  • 2 tablespoons of Ezra Cohen Montreal Brazil nut butter
  • 1/2 cup of your choice of thinly sliced fresh fruit (like mango, kiwi, or berries). Feel free to mix and match based on the season!
  • A sprinkle of ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional for added flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut flakes or chia seeds (optional for texture and added nutrients)

Instructions

  1. Lay out the whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface.
  2. Evenly spread the Brazil nut butter onto the tortilla, ensuring you reach the edges to make a sticky “seal” for the wrap.
  3. Delicately sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the Brazil nut butter layer.
  4. Place the thinly sliced fruit of your choice across the center of the tortilla.
  5. Gently roll up the tortilla, ensuring the wrap is tight and compact.
  6. Slice the wrap into bite-sized pieces if desired, or enjoy it whole.

Favorite Variations

  • Brazil nut butter with strawberries and a hint of mint.
  • Brazil nut butter with apple slices and a sprinkle of granola for crunch.
