I used up the rest of the ingredients from my chimichanga, so these are made with honey chipotle chicken thighs, avocado lime crema, and quick-pickled onions and serranos (made with apple cider vinegar)

      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.

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

    Do you normally use double tortillas? I feel like one layer is enough for me.

      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!

      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.
