When it comes to making deep-fried appetizers, tacos hondureños are one of my favorites to make! My mom is Honduran and taught me how to make these amazing, crispy tacos. Serve topped with white cheese, onion sauce, or chopped cabbage.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Make the tacos: Place chicken breasts and salt into a pot and cover halfway with water. Bring to a boil; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Remove from the pot and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Shred into thin pieces.
  2. 2 Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, tomato, and bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, bouillon granules, and black pepper; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Spoon some chicken mixture into the middle of each corn tortilla. Fold tortillas around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
  4. 4 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry tortillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. 5 Make the sauce: Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tomato sauce, bouillon granules, and seasoned salt. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve sauce over tacos.
