Chicken Tacos


Sometimes, the motivation to cook a certain dish or meal may not necessarily come from a cookbook. For example, this simple chicken tacos came from one of my visit to a local market stores in Vancouver. I was perusing at a store selling many Mexican food products and thought why not prepare a Mexican meal for a change? So, I started talking to the lady who works at the store about Mexican cuisine and she gave me a few good tips to make a great Mexican meal. In the end, I decided to make some soft tacos with chicken for dinner. I must admit, the tacos turned out really good.

Heat the tortilla in a skillet or grill for about 6 to 8 seconds, or until softened. To serve the tacos: Place some shredded chicken on each tortilla, top with both salsa, cilantro and some lime juice. Fold the tortilla in half and serve warm.

I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
