Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup finely chopped tomato
1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
1 jalapeno, stemmed and deveined
2 1 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bone-in chicken breast, with skin
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
Vegetable oil, for frying
6 corn tortillas
1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
3 tablespoons shredded iceberg lettuce
3 tablespoons queso fresco or mild feta cheese

Steps:

  • Salsa: Combine the tomato, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the chicken breast with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the chicken on a small sheet pan and roast until fully cooked through, about 25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool before shredding.
  • In a medium shallow skillet heat enough vegetable oil to come half way up the sides of the pan. Shred the chicken into small pieces and put about 2 tablespoons down the center of each corn tortilla. Roll up each tortilla like a cigar and secure them with a toothpick. Fry the tacos until golden brown on all sides, turning once, about 4 minutes total. Remove the toothpicks and cut each taco in half.
  • To serve: Top with shredded lettuce and freshly made salsa. Drizzle with Mexican crema and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
