You know it, that overflowing pantry that just doesn't seem to empty! We keep buying at the supermarket, restocking and then after a while we look again and then most of it is out of date. Well, my pantry is just as full as anyone else's. Because of press packages that I get sent and from suppliers who keep restocking. Time for some "zero waste recipes" where we will mainly use our stock. If you don't have exactly the same ingredients of these tortilla cups with chicken in your pantry, look at what looks like it and make your own variation. It will undoubtedly be just as tasty as this recipe, and you will have emptied your pantry a bit more. The herbs are of course from my regular supplier Those pots are certainly used a lot here at home!
Tortilla containers with chicken
Somewhere we have gotten the idea that food packed in cans, packages (like beans etc.) are less healthy than fresh products, but that is certainly not the case. Just take a good look at the labels. Often it is processed very quickly under steam, for example, which helps to preserve the nutritional value of these products. They are often rich in essential nutrients and fibers, and hardly contain any extra additives.
Of course, there are also packages that are full of sugars, preservatives, E-numbers and other junk, but you are responsible for that yourself; it is important to be critical. Read what you buy before you throw it in your basket, and be aware of the benefits of well-packaged food, which in many cases can be a convenient and responsible choice for a busy life, where fresh products are not always feasible. It is all about making the right choices and being informed about what you consume.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
