Mexican flatbread with chicken
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. It's easier to buy tortillas at the store, and then the cooking process is twice as simple and fast. But I decided to make the flatbread myself and didn't regret it. Of course, baking a genuine corn tortilla at home is very difficult. Wheat ones, however, are quite easy. As for the filling, Mexican cuisine calls for many hot and spicy seasonings. My recipe is closer to European cuisine, though the choice is yours. Serve with herbs and sauce.
