The weather moderated for just a day last week between bouts of high heat, humidity, and storms (with occasionally heavy downpours). I took full advantage of that fine Wednesday in two ways: yard work in the neglected rear of the house, and bringing out the brand new Blackstone Griddle for its trial run.
A few folks on the interwebs suggest onions are a good first cook, and that's the route I took (the start of that process is captured from the back door security camera, above). Then I added sweet bell pepper to also cook down a bit, and over to the side went a pounded spiced breast of chicken. Once everything was cooked, I laid down jumbo tortillas, added cotija cheese, started piling on the diced chicken and peppers and onions; I added more of the cotija until it seemed well-covered. Another tortilla went on top and I let the griddle do its magic.
While there were bumps and stumbles, and a few moments of aggravation, and I did get good and sweaty, the three of us were all pretty pleased at how excellently it all turned out. I'm sure the homemade guacamole helped!
