TACO POLLO - SPICY CHICKEN FILLED TORTILLAS
For a Mexican-style dinner, serve these as a starter with creamy avocado or sour cream dip, followed by your favourite hot and spicy Mexican dish. Or serve them with a Mexican vegetable side dish such as Mexican Potato Crisps With Lime Salsa Recipe #139461, Fried Mexican Capsicum & Potatoes Recipe #139465 or Mexican Bean Hotpot Recipe #139476. I've posted this recipe for the 2005 Zaar World Tour from a recipe on an International Masters 'recipes for pan or wok' recipe card.

TACOS DE POLLO
These chicken tacos can be simple to prepare, with practice. They are VERY delicious and addicting. In Mexico they are usually served for supper but they make a wonderful light lunch also. This is authentic and made from scratch. The flavorful results are well worth the effort. The salsa and filling can be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated. To simplify things even more you can purchase a rotisserie chicken from the deli instead of poaching your own. Prep time does not include cooking time.
