Preparation
Meat filling
Cook the meat in a small saucepan with onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and water on low heat for approximately 40-45 minutes or until the meat is tender. Cool and fray the meat.
Chicken filling
Place the chicken, garlic, onion, salt, and water in a saucepan. Cook over low heat for 30 minutes approximately or until the breast is tender. Let it cool and fray.
Potato filling
Peel and cut the potatoes into large cubes, boil in water and salt until they are tender, but not overly cooked. Drain and marinate. Taste them to make sure there is enough salt.
Steps for the preparation of the taco
Heat tortillas in a pan so that they are more flexible (pliable) and easy to enroll
Place a portion of the filling of your choice near the edge of the tortilla.
Roll and press, but not too hard to keep the filling from coming out.
Secure the tortilla with a toothpick.
Fill all tortillas.
In the meantime, heat the oil in a saucepan at medium-high heat
Fry the tacos in the heated oil, turning them once until they are golden and crispy.
Remove and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Let cool, as the filling will be very hot.
Serve on a platter and cover with your choice of salsa, cream, fresh cheese, lettuce, garlic, tomato, and avocado.
