Ingredients

For the Avocado Sauce:
🌶️ 2 jalapeños
🧄 2 garlic cloves
🧅 ¼ onion
🌿 Small bunch cilantro (about ½ cup, loosely packed)
🥑 2 ripe avocados
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
💧 1 cup water

For the Tortillas:
🌽 2 cups masa harina
💧 2 cups water
🧂 Pinch of salt

For Serving:
🧀 ½ cup queso fresco, crumbled
🌺 ¼ cup red pickled onions
🍗 4 chicken milanesas, seared
🌿 Chopped cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

1- Make the Avocado Sauce:

In the Ninja Foodi Power Blender & Processor System, combine jalapeños, garlic, onion, cilantro, avocados, salt, and 1 cup of water.
Blend until smooth and creamy.

2- Warm the Sauce:

Pour the avocado sauce into a non-stick pan over low heat.
Rinse the blender with a bit of water to capture all flavors and add it to the pan.
Stir gently until warm and slightly thickened. Adjust water as needed for your desired consistency.

3- Make the Tortillas:

In a clear glass mixing bowl, mix together masa harina, water, and a pinch of salt.
Knead until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.

4- Form Tortillas:

Divide the dough into 8 equal balls.
Place each ball between two plastic sheets and press using a black cast iron tortilla press to form thin, round tortillas.

5- Cook Tortillas:

Heat a non-stick griddle to medium heat.
Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute per side, flipping it twice, and allow them to puff slightly to ensure even cooking.

6- Assemble Enguacamoladas:

Dip each cooked tortilla into the warm avocado sauce to coat both sides thoroughly.
Fold the sauced tortillas into quarters and arrange them on a white enamelware plate with a black rim.

7- Garnish and Serve:

Top the enguacamoladas with crumbled queso fresco, red pickled onions, and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with the seasoned chicken milanesa or your choice of protein.

Cooking Tips

Allow tortillas to puff up during cooking without popping the air pockets. This helps cook the inside with steam.
Adjust the water in the sauce for preferred consistency based on personal taste and preference.
