Instructions
  1. In a small bowl mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, 1/8 chipolte chili powder, smoked paprika and salt. Thinly slice onion and cook in olive oil. Cook until caramelized about 30 minutes. If you want a thinner chicken breast, flatten with mallet. I didn't do this step. Season both sides of the chicken with the seasoning. Heat a skillet and cook about 5-10 minutes each side. (if flattened takes about 5 minutes.) Cook all the way through. Meanwhile mix the mayo, lime juice and remaining chipolte chili powder in small bowl. Once chicken is done put a piece of gouda on and let melt. To assemble spread the mayo, add the chicken with gouda on top. Top with tomato and carmelized onions.

  1. Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add the beans, salsa, and 1/2 cup water. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes, season with salt.
  2. Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers and sliced onions with 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, without stirring, until the vegetables are browned around the edges, 4-6 minutes.
  3. Toss the fish with the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp cumin and chili powder, season generously with salt. Scatter over the roasted vegetables and broil until the fish is just cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir the cilantro into the beans and divide among the plates. Serve with the fish, roasted vegetables, tortillas, guacamole, and lime wedges. Enjoy!
