Since it was Greg’s first night back, I attempted to make some Honduran Tacos (or taquitos as we call them in the states) as his ‘welcome back’ meal. I discovered tonight that I have no idea how to actually ‘fry’. (Could be a blessing in disguise, fried food can’t be good for you!) Here is what happened… after boiling and shredding the chicken and preparing the corn tortillas, I rolled up the individual tacos. I heated the oil in a pan and carefully placed each taco inside. This is where the disaster began. They tortillas started breaking and falling apart, unleashing the already cooked chicken to be fried in addition to the shell. I tried and tried and
kept getting the same results (see photo left)…even the Bicecreamman himself couldn’t pull it off! We (actually only Greg) ended up eating about 7 fried corn tortillas topped with guac, chicken, sour cream, and salsa. He claimed it was tasty, but I am afraid all I did was clog his arteries! So, on my last attempt I was finally successful in making 1 Honduran taco. Afterward, I made myself a quesadilla….in the microwave!
