Steps

  1. 1

    Boil the chicken with half the onion and the 2 garlic cloves. Add salt to taste to flavor the chicken.

  2. 2

    Boil the guajillo and poblano chiles (wash and remove the seeds before boiling).

  3. 3

    Once the chicken is cooked, shred it and heat it in a skillet with a little oil. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Once the chiles are ready, blend them with 1/4 onion, cumin, oregano, and the chicken bouillon cube. Add a little of the chile cooking water. Set aside.

  5. 5

    In a small pot, melt 1/2 tablespoon of lard. Once melted and cooled slightly, add the reserved sauce from the blender and bring to a boil. Set aside.

  6. 6

    Chop the cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and avocados.

  7. 7

    To pickle the onion: Thinly slice half an onion into strips. Add salt and lime juice.

  8. 8

    In a skillet with oil and salt, quickly pass each tortilla through the hot oil without letting them get crispy (just warm them in the hot oil).

  9. 9

    Next, dip each tortilla in the reserved sauce. Fill with the reserved shredded chicken and arrange the rolled tortillas on a plate.

  10. 10

    Garnish with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, and pickled onion, if desired.
