Today I learned how to make corn tortillas during a live session with Lena. Although I still need to practice, it was a lot of fun and I loved sharing it with you! Since I had some chicken tinga left over, I thought it would be great to turn it into crispy tacos. They're one of my favorites!

Steps

40 minutes
  1. 1

    Make the tortilla dough. Gradually mix the corn flour with the warm water until you get a soft, slightly pliable dough that doesn't stick to your fingers.

  2. 2

    Shape the dough into balls that fit in your hand. Using a tortilla press and two pieces of plastic (or, if you don't have a press, place the dough between two pieces of plastic and flatten with a skillet or something heavy), press the dough to form tortillas. You should get about 8 tortillas.

  3. 3

    Cook the tortillas on a griddle or skillet. First, sear each side, then flip them until they puff up. That's how you'll know they're ready. Keep the tortillas covered with a clean cloth so they don't dry out.

  4. 4

    Prepare the tinga. Boil the chicken in water with a teaspoon of chicken bouillon, a piece of onion, and a garlic clove. Let it cool slightly, then shred the chicken.

  5. 5

    Sauté the remaining chopped onion in oil. Add the chopped tomato. Finally, add the cooked, shredded chicken. Let it cool.

  6. 6

    Warm the tortillas slightly and fill them with the tinga, rolling them up.

  7. 7

    Fry the tacos in hot oil and place them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  8. 8

    Serve with sour cream, lettuce, and hot sauce.
