List of Ingredients




2 whole chicken breasts
1 large white onion
juice of one lemon
juice of one lime
1 cup olive oil
1 cup cilantro leaves, loosely packed
1 jalapeño pepper
salt and paprika to taste
2 large tomatoes
1/2 head of Iceberg lettuce
6 flour tortillas
vegetable oil


Recipe



Boil chicken until tender with your favorite vegetables (save stock for soup). Let chicken cool slightly in stock. Slice the onion finely. In food processor or blender, mince cilantro, lemon and lime juice, olive oil, jalapeño pepper, salt and paprika. Pour mixture over onion slices in large bowl. While chicken is still warm, cut in bite-size cubes and mix with onion and cilantro marinade. Keep in refrigerator until ready to eat.

To serve, warm the tortillas in a hot skillet with some vegetable oil until rather crisp. Shred lettuce finely and arrange in center of tortilla. Pour the marinated chicken over the lettuce and surround with seeded, diced tomatoes.

Serves 6 as a main course. For buffet serving, arrange chicken over lettuce and tomatoes, and surround with flour tortilla chips.
