Torta Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tortas

    Warm the tortilla bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side. Place sliced chicken on the tortilla, top with avocado, diced tomato, shredded lettuce, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. Fold the tortilla over to create a sandwich.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve your pollo tortas warm with a side of salsa or your favorite dipping sauce.
