Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Chopped onion
- 1 cup Diced tomato
- 0.5 cup Chopped cilantro
- 1 cup Grated queso fresco
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Guacamole
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the corn tortillas into quarters to create triangular chip-sized pieces.
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the tortilla pieces in batches until crisp and golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a medium bowl, mix the cooked shredded chicken with the chopped onion, diced tomato, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
To assemble the snacks, take a crisp tortilla piece and add a small spoonful of the chicken mixture on top.
Sprinkle each with a pinch of grated queso fresco.
Drizzle a bit of sour cream over the top, or add a dollop of guacamole for added flavor.
Repeat with the remaining tortilla chips and chicken mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy these fresh and delicious Mexican Palapa Snacks!
