Grill It! with Bobby Flay...

I admit it... I would LOVE to be on this new show... I want to grill with Bobby Flay, on his super-cool patio, perfectly appointed with anything you could ever need for grilling anything, soaking up tips from The Grill Master himself... He loves Mexican food, loves making the prep of food part of the party, and he is always having a drink (perfectly matched to the meal, natch).. my kind of cook, and now he is inviting others in to cook with him... who wouldn't want in on that?

After watching the episode this past weekend, I made a variation of his grilled chicken soft tacos because you can't watch him pile one of those puppies up and take a bite without wanting one too...
I liked what the addition of brown sugar did for the spice rub in this recipe.. it really make a crust on the chicken as it grilled, and it added a touch of sweetness under the heat, which was nice...
We skipped the slaw, since there is no way that The Hub would eat that if he could choose what to put in his own taco, and I went with a supply of cheese, sour cream, fresh salsa, and roasted bell peppers to go with the chicken...

The H really liked the flavor of the chicken, and he always likes it when I do soft tacos on the grill... it just makes everything taste so fresh and bright... Perfect with a Corona (for him) and my new favorite Limeade/clubsoda/Pinot Grigio beverage that I pulled out of thin air (and a less-than-stocked fridge) to take to the pool one Saturday at the begining of summer (try it.. wildly popular with the girlfriends for lazy pool days)
Create-a-drink in one hand, taco in the other, I salute Bobby Flay... I think he would approve....
