directions

  • Place all sauce ingredients in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and strain mixture through a sieve placed over a large bowl to reserve liquid.
  • Place tomato mixture in blender and blend until smooth, adding enough of the reserved cooking liquid to thin sauce to desired consistency.
  • Combine filling ingredients.
  • Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling on the lower third of the tortilla and roll up.
  • Place rolled tortillas seam side down on a baking sheet.
  • Prepare remaining tortillas.
  • Heat 1/2 inch oil in frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Place tacos in pan, seam side down and fry until golden and crispy, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Keep prepared tacos in warm oven.
  • Suggested accompaniments: remaining Pitillel Tomato Sauce, sour cream, feta cheese, tomatoes, diced sweet onion, shredded lettuce.
  • Note: For extra spice and a smokier flavour, I add one chipotle pepper in adobo sauce to the tomato sauce, in place of the jalapeno pepper.

  1. These were good. Maybe a bit bland for me but then I've burned alot of my taste buds on spicy food. My wife and I said almost at the same time that what it needed was a bit of fresh cilantro added to the filling. I'm sure we'll try that next time, and of course I'll add some extra jalapeno to mine and I think that will really put it over the top for me. Thank you for a good recipe.
