Ingredients
Filling
1 chicken breast
2 medium size potatoes
1 tbsp butter
500 ml chicken stock dissolved in water
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
Red Salsa
3 red tomatoes
1/4 chopped onion
1 garlic
35 dried red chillies
Green Salsa
3 green tomatoes
1/4 chopped onion
1 garlic
23 fresh green chillies
Tacos
1 small tacos
300 - 500 ml cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
For serving
1 sour cream
1 feta cheese
1 green lettuce (cos or iceberg)
Filling Chicken
Dissolve chicken stock in 500ml of water.
Add the chicken breast and boil, until chicken breast cooked all the way through (white all the way through).
Once cooked, remove chicken from boiling water, put the stock to the side and keep for later. Once chicken has cooled, pull apart into small pieces, set aside for later.
Filling Mashed Potatoes
Peel the potatoes.
Boil the potatoes until soft and cooked.
Drain the potatoes, add some salt, pepper, and the butter then mash with a potato masher. Set aside until later.
Red and Green Salsa
Peel the tomatoes and then wash. Chop in half.
Peel the garlic and chop in half.
Peel the onion and then chop into quarters.
Heat some oil in a large frying pan or griddle pan. Once hot, place the tomatoes, onions, garlic, and chilies in the pan.
Fry and turn using tongs. Fry until slightly browned on all sides and slightly soft.
Once browned and soft, separate red tomatoes and chilies and place in a bowl with half the onions and half the garlic. Place the green tomatoes and green chilies in another bowl with the rest of the onion and garlic.
Both salsa need to be blended. Place the red salsa in the blender with some of the chicken stock left over from boiling the chicken breast and blend. Transfer the blended salsa to a bowl and set aside.
Repeat the same process with green salsa ingredients.
Any salsa not used when served can be frozen and used another time.
Tacos
Wipe a frying pan or griddle pan with a small amount of oil.
Fry the tacos flat on both sides. Do not fold them.
Set a side.
Once all the tacos have been fried, fill them with either chicken or mashed potatoes, or both. You can add cheese.
Once you fill a taco, you need to roll it, then place it inside a towel/drying cloth, so they folded/rolled.
Heat 500ml of oil in a pan. Wait until it is bubbling then deep fry the tacos. Use tongs to remove them once they are slightly golden and crispy. Set aside.
To Serve
Place 3 tacos on a plate.
Spread some sour cream on top of the tacos.
Finely chop the lettuce and place on top of the sour cream.
Sprinkle some feta cheese on top of the lettuce.
Add either red or green salsa on top of the taco.
It is now ready to eat.
