Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the corn tortillas one at a time until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Use a slotted spoon to remove the tortillas, draining them on paper towels.
- In a bowl, season the shredded chicken with salt. Feel free to add other seasonings like cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.
- Assemble the Salbutes by placing a fried tortilla on a plate. Layer the shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato, avocado slices, pickled onions, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- Serve the Salbutes with lime wedges on the side. Encourage your guests to squeeze lime juice over the Salbutes to enhance the flavor.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and toppings.
- Enjoy your homemade, flavorful Salbutes! Best served immediately for optimum crunchiness.
Tips
- For a vegetarian alternative, substitute the chicken with black beans.
- You can make your own pickled onions by soaking thinly sliced red onions in a mix of vinegar and salt.
- For an added crunch, add some thinly sliced radishes to the toppings.
