Here's a Mexican dish that is Mom-friendly, the kind that isn't too spicy, greasy, or exotic looking for the over 85 crowd.Javier fixes a wonderful fajita marinade from a recipe he's used for years. I think he learned it back in the 1980's when he still worked in a Mexican restaurant, and it has served us well. It's very simple, and as always, I am happy to provide it to readers if you'd like me to. Just write in the comment section and ask!
So, Mom wanted chicken, but not chicken breast, which is what (she claims) they serve every day in the retirement home. She wanted chicken she could taste. We bought some boneless, skinless thighs, marinaded them in the fajita marinade most of the day, and then grilled them that evening with some sliced sweet potato (camote in Mexico, batata in most parts of South America), zucchini (calabaza) and eggplant (berenjena). The day had been warm, perfect for cooking dinner on the parrilla. We all enjoyed our pollo, vegetales y vino blanco and served a simple salsa to the side for those who wanted it.
