So, I've realized that most all my posts start with "So...," but I'm ok with that. So anyway, I made some chicken tacos. I simmered some chicken breasts in a poaching liquid that included some dried chili's, onion, garlic, bay leaf, cumin and water. Simmered for about 20 mins then I took out to let cool. I strained the liquid, shredded the chicken, and added it back to the strained liquid and cooked a little longer. I made some corn tortillas and garnished them the traditional way with some chopped white onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. I also made some salsa verde which was really good and easy- 4 Tomatillos, 1 whole serano, glove of garlic, half a lime, pinch of salt and a bunch of cilantro. Food processor for a few pulses and voila, Salsa Verde!
So.....Nice job with the homemade tortillas!! Tyler Florence has a similar salsa verde recipe but he roasts all of the ingredients before blending them - try that out sometime and see which one is better.
ReplyDeleteI love mexican food. Was the raw onion a little intense? I heard if you soak them in ice water, it takes the bite away. Never tried it though.
ReplyDeleteRaw onion was not intense at all, very complimentary. Use sweet white onions, not spanish onions, they would be too intense.
