10 servings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 5 chicken breasts
  • pepper, to taste
  • salt, to taste
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups breadcrumb
  • canola oil, for frying
  • 1 cup lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and onion powder.
  • Slice chicken breasts in half laterally to form 10 thin cutlets.
  • Place the chicken cutlets between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound out to ¼-inch (6-mm) thick.
  • Season the chicken with spice mix.
  • Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 separate shallow dishes. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, then dip in the egg, bread crumbs, back in the egg, and in the bread crumbs once more.
  • Place the chicken breasts around the border of a baking sheet, so half of each cutlet drapes over the side of the pan.
  • Place a smaller baking sheet wrapped with plastic wrap in the middle of the larger pan.
  • Fold the draped halves of the chicken over the smaller pan.
  • Freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  • Fry the chicken taco shells, 2 at a time, for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Drain the chicken tacos on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • Fill the chicken tacos with lettuce, guacamole, and pico de gallo, and cheddar cheese.
  • Garnish with cilantro and sour cream.
  • Enjoy!
