Doritos Chicken Recipe
The inspiration for this dish came about a few months ago. My buddy Wiz is a health nut. Some of you old-school-Hip-Hop heads may remember him from back in the day when he was the DJ for Kid n Play. He refuses to eat anything other then white meat. Chicken and turkey to him is as far as he goes when it comes to trying anything new.
One day while I was on the phone with him he was eating and talking at the same time. I really wasn’t offended; we all have to mulit-task now and then. So as the crunching got louder, I had to ask, "What are you eating?" I really wasn’t ready for this answer—he replied, "Doritos." I was like "for real?" Wiz is a gym rat as well. He must have stock in Bally's by now. That’s to tell you how much he is in Bally’s. I was joking when I told him that "the only way I thought you would eat Doritos is if it was hidden in a chicken beast." He laugh but then it hit us that may not be such a bad idea.

Directions
Like most of my cooking I see something and I have to put the Oliver twist on it. Here is my Mojo for three chicken breast.
Juice of half of lime
1/8 Cup of OJ.
1/4 Teaspoon of Chili Powder.
1 Clove of Garlic.
2 Tablespoons of Rice Wine Vinegar.
Small Pinch of Cilantro
2 Tablespoons of Tequila
Season Salt to Taste.
Allow the Mojo to marinate for 1-4 hours. While that’s doing its thing, run the Doritos though the food processor. It took about three cups to do three large chicken breasts. After the marinating period:
• Preheat the oven at 350º.
• Beat an egg.
• Dip the chicken into the beaten egg then the ground Doritos.
• Place the breaded chicken into a greased oven-proof dish.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until done.
• Garnish with chopped tomatoes, avocado, sour cream and a cilantro sprig.
