Salbute
Salbute is a delicious and filling dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The tortilla is made with masa harina, water, and salt, and is then fried until crispy. The shredded chicken is seasoned with a blend of spices such as cumin, chili powder, and garlic, and is then piled on top of the tortilla. The lettuce, tomato, and avocado are then added to the top of the chicken, and the dish is finished with a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa.

The dish was originally made with wild game such as deer or rabbit, but today it is more commonly made with chicken or pork.
