Crispy breaded chicken with a touch of spice, creamy chipotle mayo, fresh cilantro and lime, all rolled up in a warm soft tortilla…no wonder this is now a family favorite dinner recipe! Trust me, this recipe does not disappoint, and it should be enjoyed any day of the week, not only on Taco Tuesdays!
My husband and I crave this delicious chipotle mayo on the daily. You can literally put it on ANYTHING-tacos, black beans, rice…or you can eat it just by the spoonful like we do! It’s so creamy and has the perfect amount of spice and zing. I’m all about sauces. I think sauces can take an ordinary dish, like tacos, and add bursting flavors that make a meal seriously crave-worthy. This chipotle mayo is pleasantly simple to make, and takes these crispy tacos to a whole other flavor level. My friends, you are gonna love this recipe!
Okay, let’s talk about this chicken for a minute. It’s so crispy on the outside. It’s so tender in the inside. You guys, this chicken can be compared to Chick-Fil-A nuggets. Yes. Chick-Fil-A. I wouldn’t make this stuff up. It’s so mouth-watering. And the seasonings! Just the right amount of spice to make these little guys so tasty.
Please, go buy all of the ingredients, and make this dinner TONIGHT! I am so excited for you to enjoy some delicious chicken tacos!!
Place all of the brine ingredients in a plastic bag and let marinate for 2 hours or overnight.

Heat oil in a large frying pan.
Place several pieces of chicken in the oil and fry about 3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
Repeat with all the chicken and serve in soft mini flour tortillas.
