Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and onion powder.

- 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!
