Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
Necessary ingredients:
*For the filling:*
- 1 chicken breast (approximately 350-400 g)
- 1 can of corn
- 1 can of beans
- 2 medium onions
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 bell pepper (preferably red or yellow for added color)
- 4-5 tablespoons of tomato paste
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt, pepper, chili powder (to taste)
*For the tortillas (4 pieces):*
- 50 g corn flour
- 50 g wheat flour
- 70 ml warm water
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the chicken breast well and cutting it into small cubes. Peel the onions and garlic, then chop the onion finely and mince the garlic. Cut the bell pepper into small cubes.
2. Cooking the filling: In a large skillet, add a little oil and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Add the diced chicken breast and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is lightly browned.
3. Adding the vegetables: Once the chicken is fried, add the bell pepper cubes and, if necessary, a small amount of water to help with cooking. Continue to simmer until the meat is halfway cooked.
4. Adding the beans and corn: Rinse the beans and corn from the cans under cold running water, then add them to the skillet along with the tomato paste, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and chili powder. If the tomato paste is too sour, don't hesitate to add a teaspoon of sugar to balance the taste. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until the meat is fully cooked and the flavors are blended.
5. Preparing the tortillas: In a bowl, mix the corn flour with the wheat flour. Gradually add the warm water and knead a firmer dough. On a floured surface, knead the dough for 3 minutes, then divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each portion into a circle about 20 cm in diameter.
6. Frying the tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry each tortilla on both sides, without oil, for a few seconds (about 30 seconds on each side). Be careful not to fry them too much, as they need to remain soft. After frying each tortilla, wipe the skillet with a clean towel to remove any flour residue.
7. Assembling and serving: Fill each tortilla with the spicy chicken mixture, rolling them carefully. Serve immediately to enjoy their freshness. If not serving immediately, cover them with a clean towel to prevent drying out.
Serving suggestion: These stuffed tortillas can be served with a side of salsa or guacamole to add even more flavor. You can also use sour cream or Greek yogurt as a topping for a creamy touch.
Creative variations: You can experiment with different fillings, such as beef, tofu, or grilled vegetables, depending on your preferences or diet. You can also add grated cheese or olives for an extra burst of flavor.
