Delicious Fried Chicken Tacos Recipe

We are adding Fried Chicken Tacos to our menu every  Sunday night of the week. Fast-cooking shredded chicken filled in a corn tortilla baked until crunchy, and crowned with an amazing avocado sauce makes this made-at-home Fried Chicken Tacos juicy, tastier, delicious, and more flavorful than anything you can order. My Popeyes chicken sandwiches recipe is also quick and delicious that you can make.

Prep Time

Fried Chicken Tacos Ingredients 

Directions

Step 1

Warm up the oven to 425° F with the rack in the center position.

Step 2

To an Instant Pot add the chicken, taco seasoning, and salsa. Close the cover and pressure cook on high for 9-10 minutes. By hand free the steam.

Step 3

With the help of 2 forks, scrap the chicken and move it to a large dish. Move in ¼ cup of the soured cream.

Step 4

Warm the tortillas in the oven for 1-2 minutes, or till soft. Rub a sheet pot with 1½ spoon of cooking oil, then organize the tortillas on the sheet pot in a single layer. Add ¼ bowl of the chicken padding and 2 spoons of Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese to half of each taco. Bend tortillas over the padding and softly press to stick. Lightly brush tortillas with remaining olive oil, then bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and the cheese melted. For spare crunchy sides, bake for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Meantime, add the remaining sour cream, onion powder, avocado garlic powder, cilantro, salt, jalapeno, and lime juice to the base of a food mixture or blender until soft.

Step 6

Fill the tacos with lettuce. Top each taco with the hot sauce and avocado sauce to serve.

Note:

Lightly brush the oil on Fried Chicken Tacos using a pastry brush. Using too much oil will yield soggy tortillas.

Tips For Serving And Storing Crispy Chicken Tacos

Can you freeze crispy chicken tacos? You can smoothly frost the sliced chicken once it cools to room temperature. Corn tortillas also frost better when covered tightly in a plastic pack. We wouldn’t freeze the tacos once they are made, but they will hold up in the fridge for a few days.

This recipe will also be delightful and tasty with crock pot crispy carnitas used rather than shredded chicken.

Got leftover shredded chicken? Throw it into a pot of Chicken Tortilla Soup you can also serve these crispy tacos with perfect guacamole instead of the avocado sauce.

Chicken breasts or thighs

I used chicken breast in this recipe but you can also use chicken thighs because there is not much difference in using both. Some people like chicken thighs because they are juicy while it is not necessary to use them in every dish.
