Julie Mitchell's Crispy Chicken Tacos

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, boiled and shredded (or a rotisserie chicken is fast and easy)

1 can pato sauce

1/2 yellow onion

3 cloves garlic

12 flour tortillas 

2 cups shredded Iceberg lettuce or cabbage 

1 tomato, chopped

Shredded Mexican style cheese

Vegetable oil, for frying

Method

  1. Chop onions and garlic, sauté in pan with a little oil until onions are soft. 
  2. Add Pato sauce and cook for about 2-3 min 
  3. Add in shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper. 
  4. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in pan, over medium heat (it’s ready when a tortilla tip starts to sizzle when you dip it in.)
  5. Carefully place a tortilla in the oil for a few seconds before flipping it over and folding it in half and holding it in a taco shape (using a pair of tongs) while you continue to fry each side until just starting to brown. Fry longer for more crispy, I like them a little soft and crispy on the edges. 
  6. Place taco shells on paper towel to drain while you continue with the rest of the tortillas. 
  7. Fill each taco shell with the chicken, shredded lettuce, tomato, and cheese, and enjoy!
