Instructions
Step 1
Slice the chicken or plant-based substitute and mix with 50g of Las Chicas Tinga Cooking Paste in a bowl - set aside and let the chicken marinate for 30 mins. Chop the lettuce, grate the cheddar and scoop out some sour cream - we'll use these later.
Step 2
Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a pan and cook the marinated meat or plant-based substitute for approx 7 mins/ until cooked through. This is your Tinga mix.
Step 3
Place 1 spoonful of the Tinga mix into each tortilla. Roll the tortillas up and set aside.
Step 4
Heat a thin layer of canola/vegetable oil in a large pan, and fry the rolled tortillas until golden. Once cooked, remove from the pan and dry with kitchen roll - you now have Tacos Dorados!
Step 5
Serve with lettuce, cheddar and sour cream. Top with Las Chicas Salsa Verde or Salsa Roja. Enjoy!
