These tacos are definitely not your grandmas fried chicken tacos, but they are sure to satisfy like they were!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken tenders boneless and skinless
- chicken seasoning
- 2 cups flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp or mild
- Vegetable oil
- 1 cup hot sauce we used mild La Victoria
- chili powder
Optional Toppings
- salsa
- queso
Instructions
-
In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350. Use enough oil that the chicken will sit halfway in.
-
lightly season the chicken tenders with the chicken seasoning.
-
Get ready two bowls. One with the flour and another for the eggs
-
Beat the eggs and hot sauce together.
-
Set up an assembly line for cooking the chicken in this order:
Egg mix, flour, skillet.
dip chicken in egg mixture, coat in flour, add to skillet.
-
Cook the chicken until lightly browned. It will brown a little more than normal because of the hot sauce, so don't worry about overcooking. This will take 6-8 minutes or until the chicken reaches the internal temp of 165.
-
Set chicken on a paper towel covered plate to soak up extra oil and to cool. Once the chicken has cooled a bit, slice into strips.
-
Build your tacos with the chicken first and then add your cheese. Top with any of the toppings listed and enjoy!
