One of my boyfriend's favorite dishes is crispy chicken tacos. They are really delicious and easy to make. The ingredients are:
Shredded chicken (any kind will do thighs, breast, wings)
Oil
Corn Tortillas
Taco toppings ( tomato, lettuce, cheese, avocado, etc)
I usually don't cook chicken for this recipe. I buy the already roasted whole chicken made at the grocery store. It is always easy to shred and tastes fantastic.
The rest of the fixings are tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, cheese and sour cream
First you want to lay out all of your tortillas on the counter. I do this because the frying goes fast and you can cook a lot faster when everything is ready to go.
Next lay out the shredded chicken on the tortillas
While you lay out the chicken you can heat the oil.
When the oil is heated, probably will take 10 minutes to heat up. You fry the tacos. You can use your hands to hold the tacos in place for about 30 seconds or tongs just in case you don't want to burn yourself with the oil for those of you who are inexperienced.
After you hold the tacos up you are going to fry them on each side for about a minute or two so they get slightly darker in color.
After they cook you can set them on paper towels to let the access oil drain. I like to put the cheese on right when they come out of frying, that way the cheese melts before you put on the other toppings.
After the tacos are drained and you have the cheese melted you can put on the rest of your toppings. I start with sour cream, then diced tomatoes, avocado, and lettuce. My boyfriend loves jalapenos so I throw those on his along with some hot sauce.
Don't they look yummy? Enjoy!
