OVERVIEW

It’s funny how I crave a little touch of Los Angeles when living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I love the food in Albuquerque because of their hatch chiles every where. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve used hatch chiles on my Hatch Chile Chicken Street Tacos and Hatch Chile Nachos too.

Of course you can’t beat the street vendors from my hometown of Los Angeles. One of the foods that I missed were ordering Mulitas late nights from the taco trucks and the one’s just chillen on the streets. That’s what inspired me to make these mulitas cause I couldn’t find any street vendors in Albuquerque that sell them.

WHAT ARE MULITAS?

Mulitas are two fried corn tortillas stuffed with meats and melted cheeses. You can pack any protein in and what ever cheeses you desire. They are like quesadillas and tacos but like and all in one crispy sandwich.

Mulitas are super popular in the streets of Los Angeles. You can find them in any Mexican restaurants and especially at the taco trucks. Back then, taco trucks were called the “Roach Coach”! People would hit up these “Roach Coaches” after a night of partying or clubbing because of their alcoholic habits. They would serve satisfying meals like burritos, nachos, tacos, fries, etc.

THE MULITAS BREAKDOWN

ingredients for the mulitas
  • GLUTEN FREE STREET TACOS WHITE CORN TORTILLAS
  • PLANTBASED MEAT – I used Beyond Beef.
  • GARLIC AND ONIONS
  • SHREDDED CHEESES – Colby Jack or any Mexican Blend shredded cheeses
  • HOMEMADE PICO DE GALLO – Tomatoes, white onions, cilantro, lemon, and pepper.
  • COOKING SPRAY

HOW TO MAKE PICO DE GALLO

This is a quicky version: Grab a bowl and mix these ingredients – Dice one tomato. I used roma tomato for this. Chop half a white onion. Chop a handful of organic cilantro. Squeeze half of one lemon. Mix all these ingredients into a bowl.

HOW TO MAKE MULITAS

STEP 1 – COOK THE PLANTBASED MEAT

Making the mulitas are simple to do. I used plantbased meat. Heat your frying pan on medium heat with oil. Fry the meat for 4-5 minutes. Once browned and cook through, add the onions and garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.

STEP 2 – COOK THE TORTILLAS

Heat a flat pan or griddle over medium heat. Spray cooking oil over the pan. Add 4 corn tortillas and spray with cooking oil. Fry the corn tortillas until the edges turn crisp. Flip over and do the same.

STEP 3 – BUILD THE MULITAS

Once the corn tortillas are crispy enough, it’s time to build the mulitas. Add the shredded cheese on 2 of the corn tortillas. Let it melt. Then added the cooked meat, followed by the homemade pico de gallo. Add more of the shredded cheeses on top of the pico de gallo. Place the other two corn tortillas on top.

With a spatula and your fingers, flip the mulitas to melt the other side with the cheeses. Using the back side of the spatula, flatten the mulitas to melt the cheeses from the other side. Continue to do this for the next set of mulitas.

STEP 4 – ENJOY!

Serve this on a plate along with more pico de gallo on the side.

DIET TRENDSETTERS SUBSTITUTIONS

VEGAN – Instead of using the dairy cheeses, use vegan Mexican shredded cheeses.

LOW CARB OPTION – I like using Mission Foods low carb tortillas.

PROTEIN CHOICES – Use lean ground meat such as beef, chicken, or turkey. Steaks like Carne Asadas are a popular use as well as shredded rotisserie chickens.

STORING AND REHEATING THE MULITAS

STORAGE – It’s best to store these mulitas in a air tight container up to 3 days in the fridge. It’s not going to be as good as when they’re made fresh though.

REHEAT – You can reheat the mulitas in the microwave but the tortillas will be soggy. It’s best to bake them in the oven at 400F for about 5-7 minutes or air fry at 360F for 10 minutes until the tortillas are back to crispy.
