Fried Green Chicken Tacos with Flour Tostadas



We have been making a lot of Mexican food this week. Mainly because I like to utilize everything that's left over. This often results in theme weeks. This recipe just came while looking at the Tenderloins that were on sale at Food Lion. 4 pounds for 6 bucks baby!

Another note is that it's shown with Pico. It doesn't add anything but color. In fact, it actually distracts from the savory tang of the green sauce. Also, I think a little goat cheese could have been worked in here somewhere but that could have been a weird craving I had.

Green Chicken Tenderloins:
Chicken tenderloins
Oil
Flour
1 Jar of Herdez Brand Tomatillo salsa

Lightly bread the chicken in flour. Deep fry until golden brown. Transfer to a deep Skillet. Lovingly dump in the salsa. Simmer for about fifteen minutes. That's it.

Steam or toast some tortillas. Serve with sour cream, Pickled Jalapenos and cheese.

Flour tostadas:
Flour
Tortillas
Oil
cheese or cinnamon sugar
I had some leftover tortillas and have been on a deep fryer binge so I tossed some in the oil and LMTY these things are amazing. The Bee's knees. The cat's pajamas. The snakes hips... The elephant's instep...

Just heat some oil to medium heat. Toss in a flour tortilla. Wait about thirty seconds while the tranformative magic of hot vegetable oil caresses the bottomside of the tortilla and molds it into something beuatiful. Flip it over. Take it out. Place on rack. Sprinkle with cheese. wait. eat. Repeat as needed.
