Step Description
1
Cut 1 large chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to a bowl with all the wet mix ingredients (buttermilk, hot sauce, egg, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder). Mix well and let sit.
2
In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, adobo seasoning, and lime juice to make the taco sauce. Set aside.
3
Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl (flour, Cajun seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper). Coat the marinated chicken pieces in the dry mix.

Fry the chicken in 350°F (177°C) oil until golden brown. Use a
ThermoPro TP19H Instant-Read Thermometer

Add fried chicken and shredded cheese to flour tortillas. Toast on both sides in a pan or on a griddle until lightly crispy. Serve with the prepared taco sauce.
