Tonight my running group was invited to a ladies night out at a local running store ,Feet First.

I was actually debating if I would go to the event or not because at 5:30pm my bed sounded super comfy. However, Meg told me via gchat to go to the event because I might win a prize-that got me going!

And sure enough, I found a new running buddy (my old partner got injured, miss her), won a $25 gift certificate that I used to purchase a Moving Comfort bra for $11 and I got a massage!

Super fun event!!

You all know about my obsession with the tortilla Popchips, they are seriously amazing-well tonight you get to win your own case!

Not only do the chips taste good, but the company is amazing to work with, I will happily pose for pictures with Popchips on a trampoline!

Here is a recipe from ward-winning Chef Aaron Sanchez of Food Network’s Heat Seekers and Chopped

Grilled Chicken Cemitas and Garlic-Chipotle Love with salsa tortilla popchips and Goose Island 312

These hulking sandwiches are like Mexican subs—overstuffed with all sorts of goodness, bursting with flavor, and topped with a mind-blowingly delicious sauce of roasted garlic pureed with smoky chipotles. Have a lot of napkins on hand! salsa tortilla popchips bring a crispy counterpoint to all the juicy sandwich fillings and a bright flavor that can withstand everything going on inside that bun.

 

Makes 4 servings

 

For the Chipotle Love Sauce:

1 cup of canola oil

12 garlic cloves

3 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce

1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro

zest of one lime

2 teaspoon kosher salt

 

For the Cemitas:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cumin

1 ripe Haas avocado

Juice of 1 lime

4 cemita rolls or hamburger rolls with sesame seeds

Olive oil

1 cup refried beans, warmed (from 1 15-ounce can)

8 ounces Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese, grated

Sliced ripe tomato

Thinly sliced lettuce

Fresh cilantro leaves

 

1. Make the Chipotle Love:  In a dry medium heavy nonreactive sauce pot place oil and garlic cloves and cover with foil and place in 300 degree oven for 45 minutes till garlic has browned and become soft. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Then place remaining ingredients and cooled garlic oil mix in a food processor and puree till a smooth paste.

 

2. Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill with the lid down for 10 minutes on high.

 

3. Split each chicken breast in half horizontally and lay each piece between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound each breast half until it’s one-quarter inch thick (if you don’t have a meat pounder, use the bottom of a small saucepan). Sprinkle each piece with salt, pepper and cumin on each side.

 

4. Mash the avocado with the lime juice and season with salt, and warm the refried beans on the stovetop or in the microwave.

 

5. Grill the chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once. Set aside and keep warm. Split the buns and brush lightly with olive oil. Grill, cut sides down, until just golden brown, about a minute.

 

6. To assemble each sandwich, spread the bottom half of each toasted roll with a quarter of the mashed avocado. Top with a chicken breast, then spoon on a quarter of the refried beans. Divide the cheese among the sandwiches, and top with tomato, lettuce and a sprinkle of cilantro. Drizzle on a generous amount of Chipotle Love and top with the remaining bun half. Cut each sandwich in half before serving.
