1

Use chicken breast or thighs for the recipe.

2

Season the chicken with salt and apple cider vinegar, and let it sit for about 5 minutes.

3

Cut the chicken into pieces; it doesn't need to be finely chopped as it will be ground later.

4

Boil 2 tomatoes in a pot until the skin starts to peel off.

5

Season the chicken with pepper, cumin, and adobo, then mix well.

6

Add mustard and a bit of black sauce to the chicken mixture and stir.

7

Add chopped onion to the mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

8

Check the boiling tomatoes and remove them once the skin is peeling.

9

Prepare the green chili and onion by chopping them and mixing them together.

10

Chop a handful of cilantro finely and set aside.

11

In a skillet, heat oil and add the chicken pieces along with the onion.

12

Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

13

If desired, add paprika or achiote for color.

14

Turn the chicken pieces to cook evenly and let them cook for another 10 minutes.

15

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and remove excess liquid if necessary.

16

Finely chop the cabbage and prepare boiling water for blanching.

17

Once the chicken has cooked down, add the tomatoes, onion, green chili, and cilantro to the skillet.

18

Season with salt and optionally add paprika or achiote for color.

19

Prepare the cabbage by blanching it briefly in boiling water, then cool it in cold water to stop cooking.

20

Add chopped onion, green chili, and cilantro to the cooled cabbage.

21

Optionally add carrot to the cabbage mixture, but avoid adding it to boiling water to prevent it from becoming mushy.

22

Drain the cabbage well before mixing it with the chicken.

23

Use a meat grinder or similar device to grind the chicken mixture to your desired consistency.

24

Combine the ground chicken with mayonnaise, adding enough to achieve the desired creaminess.

25

Add a bit of pepinesa (pickle sauce) and mustard to the mixture, along with salt to taste.

26

Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the cabbage is well incorporated with the chicken.

27

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary before serving.
