Puffy Tacos
Pan was making chicken broth today, so she boiled a bunch of chicken thighs and needed to do something with the meat. She decided to shred it and use it in puffy tacos. She chose. . . wisely.She combined the shredded chicken, tomatoes, peppers, onions, paprika, garlic, coriander, tabasco and some other stuff and simmered it for quite awhile.
This was the result of the simmering. It had some pretty deep and somewhat spicy flavor and when all simmered together for that long, produced a really nice and smooth texture.
We decided to use masa to make homemade tortillas, that we then fry and shape into light, yet crunchy tacos.
Frying the homemade tortillas.
This was the resulting puffy taco, which was really light and had a really nice flavor that went extremely well with the spicier flavor of the chicken mixture. Note that we turned the open side of the taco over on to the paper towel to let the grease drain. That is key.
This was the delicious result. It was awfully good and not very difficult to make. Viva los puffy tacos.Labels: cooking, puffy tacos
