Honduran-Style Crispy Fried Tacos image

This is one of my favorites to make when it comes to deep-fried appetizers! My mom is Honduran and taught me how to make these amazing crispy tacos. Serve topped with white cheese, onion sauce, or chopped cabbage.

Time 1h11m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound corn tortillas
vegetable oil for frying
¼ cup water
1 (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
½ teaspoon seasoned salt

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts and salt in a pot; cover halfway with water. Bring to a boil; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Shred into thin pieces.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, tomato, and green bell peppers; cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon, and black pepper; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon some of the chicken mixture into the middle of each corn tortilla. Fold tortilla around filling and secure with a toothpick.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry tortillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Bring 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon, and seasoned salt. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve sauce over tacos.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I will use less chili powder.

The tacos were good, but I found the filling to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more seasoning next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tacos didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like soft tacos.

These tacos were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would drain the ground beef more thoroughly next time.

The tacos were good, but I found the filling to be a bit dry. I think I would add some more salsa or guacamole next time.
