What is it?

Today, I invite you to discover one of the most comforting and tasty dishes of Mexican street food: golden taquitos served with a consommé from Guerrero. This dish, typical of the evenings of Acapulco and cities such as Chilpancingo and Iguala, is a true symbol of sharing and family conviviality in Mexico. Imagine crispy little tacos, stuffed with tender chicken, served in a vegetable-scented broth, accompanied by a mountain of fresh toppings… A real journey for your taste buds!

Origin

Consommé with taquitos is a tradition that is particularly rooted in the Guerrero region of southern Mexico. It is mainly found in the evenings in the “cenadurías”, these small family restaurants that set up their tables on the sidewalks as soon as the heat drops. You can eat hot, even when it’s 30 degrees! This dish is said to have taken off in Chilpancingo before conquering the hearts (and appetites) of Acapulco and Iguala. In Canada, it’s the perfect dish to warm up cold winter evenings, but also to gather family and friends around a good table.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 L chicken consommé
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas
• 1 courgette diced
• 1 large carrot cut into large cubes
• **For the taquitos**
• **Corn tortillas, preheated** ~12 (will tease or steady)
• 2 Cups shredded chicken cooked
• **Pads**
• Mexican Cream
• grated cotija cheese
• iceberg or romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
• white onion, finely chopped
• radishes, thinly sliced
• tomato, sliced
• 1 lawyer Sliced
• fresh cilantro Chopped
• **Other**
• oil (for frying)
• (optional) small wooden sticks or toothpicks to keep taquitos closed while frying
• Salsa verde

Instructions

 

• Prepare the consommé: Heat the chicken broth in a saucepan. When it starts to boil, add the chickpeas, carrot and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Add the zucchini. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender but still crunchy. Keep warm.
• Make the taquitos: Preheat the tortillas so they are flexible. Place a portion of shredded chicken on each tortilla (very generously!). Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick or stick.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan or deep fryer. Test the temperature with a piece of tortilla or chicken: if it simmers, it’s ready.
• Fry the taquitos in small batches, turning them over so they brown evenly. Drain on a drainer or on paper towels.
• To serve: Place 3 taquitos in a large deep bowl. Pour hot consommé with vegetables on top. Top generously with lettuce, onion, tomato, radish, Mexican cream, cotija cheese, avocado and cilantro.
• Add green salsa to taste. Serve immediately while it’s hot!

Notes

Authentic Guerrero! Feel free to add mollejas or chicken hearts to the consommé for more taste. Serve with a Jamaican agua fresca for the full experience.
