Spicy Chicken Tacos with Chipotle Cream
Mark Bittman hit it out of the park with this recipe. This is from his How to Cook Everything book.
My sister gave me this recipe a while back, and me being the slacker that I am just made them for the first time this weekend. THESE ARE EXCELLENT! They are a little spicy, but you could easily cut down on the Chili Powder, and not use as many chipotles. The rub and the cream could be used for so many other things.
