  • 35 corn tortillas
  • 2 medium potatoes

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 lb dried pinto beans
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 5 roma tomatoes
  • cup oil

Instructions
 

  • remove the center of each tomaotes and cut them in half, add them to a small pot plus the garlic, the oil and the onion slice. Put the lid to the pot and cook it on medium low heat for 7 minutes.
    slice the 1 medium onion, cut the potatoes in small cubes and cook and shredded the chicken.
    In a pot or big pan, we are going to add some oil, then we are adding the sliced onion and the diced potatoes and cook them until the potatoes are soft.Once the potatoes are cooked we are adding the shredded chicken mix it up and cook it for 3 minutes or so,
    then we are warming our corn tortillas, then we are going to fill each tortilla with some of the filling and we are closing the taco using a toothpic to secure,
    in a pan we add enough oil to cover the taquitos turn it on on low heat.
    We add the taquitos 4-5 at a time, once you see the taquitos that are light brown they are ready to get them out of the hot oil.
    In a colander we add some napkins so when we add the taquitos they can absorb the excess of the oil.
    SALSA
    after 7 minutes or so.We are going to blend it adding it 1 teaspoon of salt. The salsa is done
    BEANS
    I add the pound of beans the ⅓ of onion and 2 cloves of garlic and around a tablespoon or so of salt. We cooked them for 40 min on the instant pot. Once is done wait for the pressure to go down before we open the instant pot.
    Once you are able to open it, we are adding some of the beans and the liquid, together with the onion and the garlic and blend it very well.
    put some salsa on the center of your plate then add some beans on the center of the salsa then add some tacos on top of the beans.
    and if you like add some lettuce, queso fresco,salsa crema and yum yum, so good
