MEXICAN TOSTADAS RECIPE RECIPES

This is an authentic filling used for Mexican dishes such as: enchiladas, tostadas and tacos. You can easily double the recipe, as it freezes well. I always have some on hand in the freezer. Use this in place of plain shredded chicken; and it will kick an average Mexican recipe up a notch (IMHO). COOK'S NOTES: 1 whole frying chicken, giblets and excess fat removed, can be used instead of boneless chicken breasts.

This is my go-to masa for tamales recipe. It doesn't use lard! It will yield about 3lbs of masa, and should make 25 to 30 tamales using corn husks. The amount will depend on the size of the corn husk as well as how much masa is spread over it.
