Ingredients 

4 -5 medium size Chicken Breasts

2 Large Bell Peppers – Any color - Roasted 

2 TBS Olive Oil

½ Large Sweet Onion – cut in long strips 

½ cup ANY Sandel Herb or Salt Blend 15-20 - 5” diameter – tortillas (street tacos) – flour or corn  

DIRECTIONS

 1.   Place fresh or thawed chicken breasts in a large storage bag. Use 1/2 cup of ANY Sandel Herb or Salt Blend to marinade with the oil for several hours. (It’s best if left to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.) 

2.  To roast the bell peppers, wash and dry, then burn the outside of the pepper until it’s black. Once fully charred, immediately wrap with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool.  

3.  Once the bell peppers are cool, remove the plastic with a dry paper towel, removing as much of the charred skin as possible. DO NOT RINSE. Then cut each pepper open, de-seed, and cut in strips. 

4.  To prepare the chicken, remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them in a hot skillet containing 2 TBS of oil.  Cook until just done. Do not overcook as the chicken will dry out. OR – YOU CAN GRILL OR OVEN ROAST THE CHICKEN BREASTS.  Once cooled, cut the chicken breasts into small strips to fit in the small tacos. Leave in the warm skillet until ready to assemble the tacos. 

5.  In another skillet, cook the onions until translucent, then add the bell pepper strips to the onions and cook until warmed through and remove from heat. 

6.  Combine the chicken, onions, and bell peppers in each taco. (You can warm the tacos if desired.)  GARNISH SUGGESTIONS:

PARTY CRACKERS Made with ANY Sandel Herb or Salt Blend

 Ingredients

1 2/3 cups Canola Oil 

1 box Saltine Crackers (4 sleeves) (if you desire less salt, use the unsalted crackers) 

¼ cup unground Sandel Herb or Salt Blend  

1 2-gallon sealable storage bag (like Hefty) 

DIRECTIONS

 Ingredients

1 2/3 cups Canola Oil 

1 box Saltine Crackers (4 sleeves) (if you desire less salt, use the unsalted crackers) 

¼ cup unground Sandel Herb or Salt Blend  

1 2-gallon sealable storage bag (like Hefty) 

DIRECTIONS

1. Place ¼ cup of unground blend into a food processor or coffee bean grinder to grind the blend to your desired texture. 

2.  Place ground blend with the Canola Oil into a glass jar with lid, and let marinate for 1 hour, minimum.  Shake/stir several times. (This can also marinate overnight.) 

3. Open the 4 sleeves of crackers and carefully put them in the storage bag. 

4. After you give the marinated oil one last shake or stir, immediately pour over the crackers that are in the storage bag.   

5. Before sealing the bag, add air to it (to make shaking the crackers to coat with the oil easier to manage). 

6. Gently mix very well every 5 minutes until crackers have absorbed all of the oil. 

7. Let sit overnight in an airtight bag or container. And then store in a cool, dry place until ready to use. Best if used within ten (10) days.
