Taco Pollo - Spicy Chicken Filled Tortillas image

For a Mexican-style dinner, serve these as a starter with creamy avocado or sour cream dip, followed by your favourite hot and spicy Mexican dish. Or serve them with a Mexican vegetable side dish such as Mexican Potato Crisps With Lime Salsa Recipe #139461, Fried Mexican Capsicum & Potatoes Recipe #139465 or Mexican Bean Hotpot Recipe #139476. I've posted this recipe for the 2005 Zaar World Tour from a recipe on an International Masters 'recipes for pan or wok' recipe card.
