I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it.

I'm not even into that, and I got that from the thumbnail. >_>;

Sweet pale labia's ghost. Those look pretty good.

For real tho. These look great! I’m a sucker for pickled onions.

Pickled onions are the best! Their only problem is that they disappear within seconds.

You're missing hot sauce my friend! Unless the chicken is adequately spiced ;)

The chicken is marinated in a honey chipotle marinade that was mostly just chipotles, then more of the marinade was added after shredding the chicken. There is an entire half a serrano in each taco, not to mention that the onions were pickled with serranos and are therefore spicy.
Oh, also there's a bunch of (very hot) hot sauce directly on top of the chicken, but below the onions and cilantro.

Glorious, I retract my statement immediately!

Those look great, although I would want at least one more, and I'm not a very big guy.

Yeah, I had a couple more after these two were gone

Gotta cook those tortillas
scytale@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y
Do you normally use double tortillas? I feel like one layer is enough for me.
Decoy321@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y
Doubling tortillas is an old school trick for mass quantities. It adds structural stability and minimizes food loss from breaking. We also give em a light grilling or frying before using them too.

It's also a very common practice in food trucks and street stalls in Southern California. That's where most of my Mexican food influence comes from.

I love it when they serve 2 per taco. The filing is always more than enough for 1, so I split it across the extra tortilla. Double tacos FTW!

Blech corn tortillas. Flour is objectively better
pineapplelover@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y
To each their own but I get tired of flour real quick so I'd rather eat corn tortillas.
neatobuilds@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 1y
To be fair there are a lot of bad corn tortillas, hand made corn tortillas are so much better. Buying them at the grocery takes time to find a decent brand and when you cook them you know they are done when you can fold them and they don't crack.
