For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in a blend of spices and lime juice before cooking. Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying to achieve optimal crispiness without burning the tortillas. Serve with a variety of toppings such as crumbled queso fresco, pickled onions, and a vibrant cabbage slaw for a truly authentic Honduran experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Chicken: Place chicken breasts and salt into a pot and cover halfway with water. Bring to a boil; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Remove from the pot and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Shred into thin pieces.
02
StepSauté the Aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, tomato, and bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, bouillon granules, and black pepper; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
03
StepAssemble the Tacos: Spoon some chicken mixture into the middle of each corn tortilla. Fold tortillas around the filling and secure with a toothpick.
04
StepFry to Golden Perfection: Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry tortillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
05
StepCraft the Tomato Sauce: Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tomato sauce, bouillon granules, and seasoned salt. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve sauce over tacos.
