I used La Banderita flour tortillas cause I couldn’t be stuffed making my own. I would have used corn, but I was just in the mood for the flour ones.
I didn’t use a recipe (except for the pico de gallo and créma), just came up with something off the top of my head. For the crema I combined lime juice with crème fraîche.
The chicken was browned in a pan. I then sautéed some onions and garlic with some spices, and deglazed the pan with chicken stock and added canned tomato and canned chipotle chilli.

Did you put the tortillas in the oven?
Try some corn tortillas fried lightly in hot oil.
So I am curious…you say that you are “trying to be traditional”. Please define in what way are you trying to be traditional. Did you look up traditional mexican tacos? I know there are tons of different kinds so this could be one, it is just that I have been a taco lover all of my life and have spent some time in Mexico and I have never seen a taco like this. Where did you find something telling you that this is traditional?
Traditional tacos are just corn tortillas, filling, some onions and cilantro plus salsa.
NO cheese or cream and no tomatoes.
So while they look good and are tacos-really anything put in a tortilla is a taco, your recipe is not “traditional”. But honestly, if tacos were made to be authentic, we’d be eating only iguana, bean, and squash tacos, with some turkey and perhaps xolo dog.
Traditional tacos don’t have tomato nor cream nor cheese
🌶️💦
What’s with the cream?
Hi, Mexican here.
The tacos I had my whole life only have the meat, raw cilantro, raw onions and salsa verde or rojo on top.
The usual tacos are
Carne Asada
Pollo deshebrado
Pollo asado
Cabeza
Al pastor
Lengua
Carnitas
& more meats but I can’t remember.
If you order from actual taco trucks & you ask for limes or chiles, they give them to you wrapped in foil separately.
traditional from where? alabama?
Nice try
Do you think Taco Bell sells traditional food?
That’s not traditional but if it is tasty, enjoy.
Question, did you burn your flat round bread? It looks burned, but turned into charcoal in some areas.
That’s not normal in mexican food,but did it taste good? Sometimes when you burn your flat round bread it taste bad.
P.d. I dont mix languages. Flat rounded bread means tortilla or the original name tlaxcalli.
Don’t use cream on tacos never; tomatoes are ok depending on the dish you are using to fill the tortilla
Not traditional but they look delicious! 😋
If you replace the chicken with battered fries fish, you would get authentic Ensenada fish tacos which do come with pico and cream… add some coleslaw and you’re set
You know, there are some negative replies here, just ignore them.
Tacos are anything you can throw into a tortilla, period. You do you.
I’m 100% Mexican, and you honor us. Thanks.
Those look good!
Woow so many bad things here . That’s not a taco. It’s a weird thing. Pico de gallo don’t is a good selection. The tortillas are a mess (burned) and the cream is not allowed. Really I didn’t eat that.
They look delicious! But the cream on top is a NONO. You can’t put cream on tacos (if you try to be traditional, I mean). It should be replaced with salsa. But they look good either way.
Ditch the sour cream. That only goes in some seafood tacos. Tomatoes also don’t go with every type of meat.
