Ingredients
Method
Marinate Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine chicken strips and buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare Coating
- In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Fry Chicken
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture.
- Fry chicken strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Assemble Tacos
- Warm corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with crispy chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding avocado slices or your favorite salsa.
