Instructions
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and lightly cover with oil. Mix cumin seeds with agave syrup or honey and set aside.
Heat half of your grill to medium high, the other half to medium low. Place chicken skin side down on hot side of grill until there are nice grill marks (about 5 minutes). Then flip chicken over (skin side up), place on cooler side of grill, close grill lid and let chicken cook (3-5 minutes for breast meat; 12 minutes for bone in leg/thigh meat).
In the last two minutes of cooking, brush with the cumin/agave syrup on both sides of chicken and cook each side for one minute. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
Remove chicken from grill and let rest at least 10 minutes before serving.
For Stuffing: Using metal tongs, place tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds on each side or until slightly charred. Chop tortillas into ¾-inch strips.
Pour black beans in medium-sized grill-safe pan. Add chiles, tortillas, chicken stock, paprika and ¼ teaspoon salt. Place the pan directly on the grill and heat just until mixture comes to a boil. Remove pan from heat and set aside to cool briefly.
Serve chicken with a side of black bean stuffing and garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
