No ratings yet 50 min Serves 6 Mexican
Crispy fried tortillas filled with shredded chicken and topped with a warm salsa made of tomatoes, onion, chiles, and coriander.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Cotija cheese (crumbled)
  • 3 lb cooked chicken (shredded)
  • 24 corn tortillas
  • For the tomato salsa
  • 8 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cup coriander (chopped)
  • 1 serrano pepper, minced
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

To cook the chicken, boil it in water for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow it to cool and then shred it using your fingers.

To make the tomato salsa, add all the ingredients in a frying pan, bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Mix 3/4 of a cup of the Cotija cheese with the shredded chicken. Fill the tortillas with the chicken and cheese mixture, roll and hold closed with a toothpick. Deep fry the tortilla until crisp and then drain on kitchen paper.

Top with the warm tomato salsa and top with the crumbled Cotija cheese and serve immediately.

Cook's notes

You can substitute the Cotija cheese with Parmesan cheese.
