Today we're making homemade corn tacos with pre-cooked cornmeal, perfect for a meal full of flavor and bright color. We fill them with shredded chicken and a mix of vegetables cooked with a touch of cayenne. Let's roll up our sleeves, get to work on the dough, and bring them straight to the table freshly made.

Prep: 20 minCook: 20 minServes: 4

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need

  • 250g pre-cooked cornmeal (masarepa)
  • 200ml water
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Filling

  • Mixed vegetables (green beans, yellow wax beans, carrot, and eggplant)
  • Cooked shredded chicken
  • Cooked chickpeas
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Pink salt
  • Ground cayenne pepper

Step by step

Method

  1. 1Mix the dough ingredients together until well combined (if it feels too dry add a tiny splash of water; if it feels sticky add a touch more cornmeal).
  2. 2Form into balls, flatten them, roll them out thinly with a rolling pin, and cut out round taco shapes using a bowl as a guide.
  3. 3Cook them in the oven or in a dry skillet (handle the rounds carefully as the dough can be quite delicate).
  4. 4If baking, cook at 180ºC for about 10 minutes depending on your oven (do not overbake or they will become too hard); you can spray them with a little oil to help them brown.
  5. 5In a skillet, sauté the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil and salt.
  6. 6Add the shredded chicken, cayenne, and chickpeas.
  7. 7Let everything cook for a couple of minutes so the flavors come together.
  8. 8Spoon the filling onto the warm tortillas.
  9. 9All done! Now we can tuck into our HOMEMADE CORN TACOS.
