Things You'll Need:
- 10 Flour Tortillas
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Cilantro
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 4 large stalks of celery
- 2 small bag of baby carrots
- Oregano
- Chili Powder
- Olive Oil
- Vegetable Oil
- A large stock pot
- A deep frier
-
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into cube about half an inch wide. Go ahead and cut the garlic cloves into quarters and add all this to the preheated stock pot with a little olive oil. Stir this a few times to make sure the chicken browns just a bit on the outside. Do not cook it all the way through.
-
Step 2
Chop a handful of cilantro and slice the celery. Add these to the pot for just a minute. This allows their flavor to infuse with the chicken.
-
Step 3
Add 2 quarts of water and cover. Also add your herbs, spices, salt and pepper to taste. Bring this to a boil and add the baby carrots. Reduce the heat and allow it to simmer.
-
Step 4
Add the vegtable oil to your frier or frying pan and start it heating. While this is happening use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice your tortillas into strips about 1/4 of an inch wide. Once the oil is heated, add the tortilla strips and cook them until they are golden colored. Place them on a plate with a paper towel and allow them to drain.
-
Step 5
Serve into a large bowl and top with the tortilla strips. Add shredded cheese and a little more cilantro for garnish.
