3

Heat oil in a fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to fry corn tortillas.

4

Fry corn tortillas until the bubbling stops, indicating they are done, then place on paper towels to drain.

5

Prepare roasted chicken by seasoning 2 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

6

Once cool, shred the chicken using two forks and season with salt and pepper.

7

Cut kernels from 2-4 ears of fresh corn to yield about 2 cups, or use frozen corn if preferred.

In a saucepan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of pork lard and let it melt.
