This is a great recipe that my family loves.

The corn tortillas are filled with the meat and then deep fried until golden and crispy. They are a great snack or can be served as a main dish.

I promise you will not be able to stop eating them!

Makes 20 tacos

DIRECTIONS:

  • For the sauce:
  1. Fry all the ingredients.
  2. In a blender, liquidize with a little bit of water.
  3. Pour the salsa into a hot pan.
  4. Add the rest of the water and season to taste. Bring to a boil then set aside.
  • For the meat:
  1. Place all ingredients in a baking dish – cover with foil – or pressure cooker. Cover with a little bit of water and cook for about 45 minutes in the pressure cooker or 1.5 hour in the oven at approximately 180 ºC.
  2. Once cooked, shred the meat using 2 forks.
  • Assembling the tacos:
  1. Heat the corn tortillas either on a Comal or microwave using our Tortilla Warmers. Make sure to keep warm. If they cool down, they will crack when rolling.
  2. Add a heaped spoonful of dry meat in the center (no sauce). Roll tight. Secure with a toothpick.
  3. On a small skillet, heat the oil. Once hot, fry each taquito until crispy.
  4. Remove toothpick. Garnish with lettuce and sour cream.
  5. Serve the salsa on the side.

Buen Provecho!
