🌶️ 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.
