CHICKEN AND CHEESE TORTILLA PATTIES (TACO INSPIRED)



CHICKEN AND CHEESE TORTILLA PATTIES (TACO INSPIRED) image

Categories     Bread     Sandwich     Cheese     Chicken     Brunch     Bake     Fry     Low Fat     Dinner     Lunch     Corn     Healthy

Yield 4 tortillas

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoon Chili powder
1 cup milk
2 eggs
For filling: 4 small chicken tenders
1 cup Sargento 4 Cheese
1/2 cup Organic Salsa Kirkland Signature (medium heat)
1/2 cup of couscous
1/2 cup of water
1 Red Bell pepper
1 Medium onion
2 Garlic cloves (crushed)
4 tea spoons of sour cream
Salt & Pepper to taste
Olive oil and unsalted butter for coating the pan.

Steps:

  • 1. To make a tortilla shell, combine all the dry ingredients together and stir. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and eggs until smooth and no lumps are formed. 3. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive and 1/4 teaspoon of unsalted butter on a medium size skillet until hot. Swirl it around to coat the pan. 4. With a ladle, scoop a generous amount of batter(about 1/4 of the batter) and spread it around the pan evenly, pressing down with ladle in a circular motion. Cook for about 1 minute on one side. Flip it around and cook for about 30 seconds on another side. Fold it in half like a taco and take it out of the pan and put on a plate. 5. Proceed the same way with the rest of tortillas. Use 1tsp olive oil to 1/4 teaspoon butter ratio for each patty. To make a filling, dice onion and pepper. Cut up chicken into small pieces. Using the same skillet heat up two table spoons of olive oil. Cook onions and peppers for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Add in garlic and stir for a few seconds. Pour in 1/2 cup of salsa and 1/2 cup of water into the pan and stir everything around. Then lay chicken pieces on top of the sauce, bring to boil and close the lid. Simmer in sauce for 15 minutes. Give a few stirs and add in dry couscous. Cook for an additional 10 minutes with a lid closed. Lay the chicken and sauce mixture into a plate, mix in 3/4 cup of cheese and set aside. Assemble: Open up each tortilla, spread one tea spoon of sour cream on the bottom, then chicken and cheese mixture, then one tea spoon of salsa up on top, press and close with another half. Preheat the oven to 400F degrees. Lay all four tortillas on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with 1/4 cup of cheese and bake for about 8-10 minutes until they are crispy. Take out of the oven and let cool. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This recipe calls for a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, but you can use any type of cheese that you like. Some other good options include mozzarella, queso Oaxaca, and pepper Jack.
  • Add your favorite seasonings. This recipe is simple, but you can easily add your favorite seasonings to taste. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it's cooked through. This will help keep the patties moist and juicy.
  • Serve the patties with your favorite toppings. Some good options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Chicken and cheese tortilla patties are a quick and easy meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
