I made these for a dinner with friends, best served with margs!

Ingredients
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1 tbs chipotle powder
  • 1 tbs cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbs garlic powder
  • 9 corn tortillas
  • one bag of shredded cheese of your choosing (I like monterey jack)
  • lots of neutral oil
  • 1 large tomato or two roma tomatoes
  • juice of two limes
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 white onion
  • one jalapeño
  • 2 tbs minced cilantro
Instructions
  1. Chop your chicken into small pieces and add them to a bowl with the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and chipotle powder. I have noticed that when I use higher quality seasonings that are ground more finely it turns out better than when I use cheaper seasonings it can get a bit grainy.
  2. Add your neutral oil to a pan, I like the cast iron one from Our Place. Heat to medium and cook your seasoned chicken for about 12 minutes until it's white all the way through.
  3. While your chicken is cooking chop your tomato, onion, and jalapeño. Add that to a bowl with your lime juice, cilantro, and sea salt to make your pico de gallo.
  4. Pour a little of your seasoned oil into a non-stick pan and add your tortilla. Flip so both sides are coated and top with your cheese. Add your cooked chicken and fold in half. Let cook in the oil for 3-4 min on each side till crispy. Repeat this process.
  5. Top with pico de gallo and salsa and enjoy!
