• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 whole cooked chicken (remove skin and bones)
• 1⁄2 lb hulled pumpkin seeds or 1/2 lb hulled squash seeds
• 1⁄2 cup toasted sesame seeds
• 1⁄4 cup masa corn flour
• 2 garlic cloves
• 4 large dried red chilies or 4 serrano chilies
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cups chicken broth
• salt and pepper
• 4 corn tortillas or 4 flour tortillas

directions

1. Cut chicken into chunks.
2. In a non-stick frying pan lightly brown the masa, pumpkin seeds, chilis, and garlic in oil. Grind the masa mixture in a food processor or blender into a paste.
3. Put paste back into the frying pan and stir in enough chicken broth to form a smooth sauce. Simmer until well blended.
4. Add the cut-up chicken, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat chicken and simmer for another 10 minutes and serve with the tortillas.
5. NOTE: Do not use any flour other than masa flour, or Masa Harina as a substitute will not produce the same results.
