Chicken Tampico with Mayonnaise and Olives
Pollo con Mayonesa y AceitunasThe contrast of pan-grilled chicken, hot from the pan, spread with a blend of cold mayonnaise, Mexican crema, and olives—in the style of Tampico, on the Gulf of Mexico—makes a delightful lunch or light supper. Mexican crema is widely available in most supermarkets or in Mexican markets. Sour cream is an acceptable substitute. Serve with bolillos (oval Mexican sandwich rolls) or other crusty bread.
