  Carne Asada

  Thin skirt steak marinated in citrus, garlic, and toasted chile, then charred fast and hard over a screaming-hot fire until the edges are lacquered and the center still blushes. Sliced against the grain, it's the smoky, juicy heart of every great taco de carne asada.

  Blackened Chicken

  Blackened chicken is a Creole classic: butter-dipped chicken breasts crusted in a bold paprika-cayenne spice blend, then seared in a ripping-hot cast-iron skillet until the coating toasts to a deep mahogany shell. The outside is smoky, crackly, and intensely seasoned while the inside stays juicy, because pounding the breasts to an even thickness lets them cook through in the few minutes it takes the crust to form. It is a 35-minute dinner that tastes like it came off a New Orleans line.
