First, welcome to my Nestor's Table blog and thanks for visiting.

This dish was inspired by my wife. She was raised in the mega urban center of Mexico City. With 20 million habitats everyone is always running with very Little time on their hands. This has created a need for many simple and quick dishes which are meant to eat on the run. One of these traditional dishes is Taco Dorados, also known as “Floutas” in Mexico. These are basically fried tortillas. Frying them provides a crunchy texture and frying also brings out more of the rich flavor.
This is an easy dish top prepare. Their are all basic indigence that can be found at any grocery store. The dish takes approximately 1 hour to
prepare ) Typically for 3 people (to change serving reduce/increase all ingredients by percentage )

TACOS DORADOS (FLAUTAS)

½ Chicken Breast
1 Garlic Clove
¼ Onion
½ tsp Salt
½ Cups of Water
1/2 Cup Style Italian Cheese
9 Corn Tortillas
1 Cup Canola Oil
Sour Cream (to Taste)
2 Avocados
1 Tomato
4 lettuce leaves (washed )

In a pot pour 4 cups of water, put it on the stove over medium heat. Add the chicken, garlic, salt and onion. Let it cook for 45 minutes. As it is cooked remove the mixture from the pot and let it cool in a bowl for ½ hour. Once cool, shred the chicken breast and put back in the bowl.

Heat 9 corn tortillas to soften in the microwave for 20 seconds. Remove tortillas from microwave and put them on a plate. At the bottom of the tortilla add the shredded chicken to taste. Roll up the tortillas (as an option, you can use a tooth pick to keep the tortilla closed).

In a skillet on medium heat add 1 cup canola oil. As it heats, add the tacos. When the tacos are golden brown pull them out and put them on a serving plate, add sour cream to taste, then cheese, lettuce, tomato and avocado, and enjoy a delicious Taco Dorados.
