SPICY CHICKEN TORTILLAS

One of the definitive elements of Latin American cuisine is the tortilla, a simple round flat bread made with treated corn flour or white flour.

The mainstay of the Mexican diet was, and still is, the tortilla, made from corn or wheat flour. The dough is formed into little round balls and then patted out by hand into thin round cakes or wrapped in a corn husk, the tamale, to then fill and eat. Tortillas are commonly used as eating utensils, as a plate as in a tostada, and much more. Tostada is a Spanish word translating to "toasted "in English.
