Notes
- For this Tacos recipe I use chicken mini fillets. They sell them in any supermarket. (Although the most common option is to make them with grilled chicken thigh).
- If the tacos are small, a mini fillet per taco is enough and the size matches very well.
- Later I will make another recipe including the dough. In this case, I use dough bought in a supermarket. (It is sold in many supermarkets).
- Usually I don't eat spicy. But this is a recipe that it's perfect to use them and it is the most common thing to do it.
