Tacos dorados de pollo

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack

Monterey jack is often less expensive and melts well.

Warm corn tortillas in the microwave to make them pliable, so they don't break when manipulated.

Take a tortilla, add a portion of shredded chicken, and roll it tightly, securing it with a toothpick in the center.

Repeat the process until all tacos are prepared.

In a skillet, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom well and heat it until hot.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tacos in the oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to change color and become golden brown.

Use tongs to turn the tacos to ensure even frying.

If the tortilla cools down, it may break, so work quickly.

Remove the tacos from the oil using a container lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Let the tacos rest for a bit to cool and drain further before plating them.

Remove the toothpick from each taco before plating.

Start assembling by spreading sour cream on the tacos to help other ingredients stick.

Add chopped onion on top of the sour cream.

Follow with chopped lettuce on each taco.

Sprinkle grated fresh cheese over the tacos.

Finally, add your preferred salsa on top, adjusting the amount to your taste.

Season with salt to taste before serving.
