Prep Time 40

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

1 large chicken breast chopped small
1 small onion chopped
5 cloves of garlic chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp taco seasoning
Guerrero Carb Watch flour tortillas https://www.inflcr.co/SHILy
1 to 2 cups vegetable or avocado oil for frying
Lettuce tomato, cheese, and avocado (for taco fillings)
Crema for topping

Method

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Add the chopped chicken, onions, and garlic to the skillet.
Saute until the chicken is browned and golden, and the onions are translucent.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken mixture.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the seasoned chicken.
Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Allow the chicken to marinate in the seasoning for 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Heat another pan with high sides and add vegetable or avocado oil.
Using tongs, carefully fold the tacos into a taco shape, securing the filling inside.
Gently place the folded tacos into the hot oil.The ideal temperature for deep frying is typically between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C). This temperature range allows the food to cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior while ensuring that the inside is cooked through. It’s important to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the frying process to achieve the best results. Using a deep-fry thermometer can help you accurately monitor the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed.
Fry for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the tacos become golden and crispy.
Once the tacos are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil using tongs.
Drain any excess oil by placing the tacos on paper towels.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining tacos.
Now it’s time to build your tacos! Fill each crispy taco shell with the chicken mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and any other desired fillings.
Top with a dollop of crema for a creamy finishing touch.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the taco seasoning and lime juice for a longer period before cooking.

Customize your tacos by adding your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or chopped cilantro.

If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the tacos in the oven instead of frying them. Simply brush the assembled tacos with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until crispy.
