2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound corn tortillas
vegetable oil for frying
Tomato Sauce:
1/4 cup water
1 (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

1
Place chicken breasts and salt in a pot; cover halfway with water. Bring to a boil; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Shred into thin pieces.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, tomato, and green bell peppers; cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon, and black pepper; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
3
Spoon some of the chicken mixture into the middle of each corn tortilla. Fold tortilla around filling and secure with a toothpick.
4
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry tortillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5
Bring 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon, and seasoned salt. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve sauce over tacos.
