Ingredients
- Tortillas (corn or any other flavor) 8-10 pcs
- Chicken meat (thighs or breast) 400-450 g
- Bell Peppers (in different colors) 1-2 pcs
- Onion 1 pc
- Dried paprika 1 tsp
- Tumeric 1 tsp
- Dried oregano 1 tsp
- Curry 1 tsp
- Salt / Pepper to taste
- Processed cheese (sliced, for sandwiches) 4-5 pcs
- Mozzarella cheese (shredded) 100-200 g
- Olive oil for frying
- Green (parsley) sour cream, guacamole to serve
Instructions
- Cut the meat, bell pepper, and onion into strips or small cubes. If the cheese isn't grated, grate it using a fine grater
- Heat the pan and add oil. Fry the chicken over medium heat until lightly browned
- Next, add the chopped vegetables and spices. Stir well to combine
- For added richness, place slices of melted cheese on top, cover with a lid and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and fully cooked
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (220°C) and grease your baking dish with oil, if desired
- Once cooked, mix the vegetable-meat filling. Using a spoon or tongs, place a small amount of the filling in the center of each tortilla, arranging them side by side
- Generously sprinkle each tortilla with grated cheese, then bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the crust is golden brown
- For extra flavor, sprinkle the tacos with chopped fresh herbs and serve hot with sour cream or guacamole. Ketchup also works, if you prefer!
Notes
-
You can use any meat and choose your favorite spices to suit your taste.
-
I recommend using regular flour tortillas for the best flavor, as they taste better than corn or other varieties.
-
If you don’t have small tortillas, you can easily cut small circles from pita bread using whatever tools you have.
-
Feel free to use any cheese you have on hand.
-
Serve the tacos hot with sour cream or guacamole—they taste the best!
-
If you end up with leftover filling, you can make a quesadilla with larger pita bread, or serve it as a side dish—it will taste amazing.
-
Even reheating these tacos in the oven, microwave, or Air Fryer the next day won’t affect the flavor—they’ll still taste just as good as fresh!
