Yucatan Chile Citrus Grilled Chicken Plate

This regional Mexican three-course combination meal starts with chunky avocado guacamole salsa verde and a short stack of smoky grilled flour tortillas, followed by Yucatan ancho chile citrus-marinated grilled chicken breast over cilantro rice, and black beans baked bubbly hot and garnished with roasted tomato salsa, green onions, and crisp yellow corn tortilla strips. End with an indulgent Tres Leches cupcake.
