Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 large chicken breasts sliced into strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
For the Sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
To Serve
  • 8 soft tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Shallow bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Set up a breading station: place the flour, eggs, and panko breadcrumbs each in separate shallow bowls. Mix the garlic powder and paprika into the flour.
  3. Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Place the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice. Drizzle over the baked chicken strips.
  6. Fill each tortilla with shredded cabbage, crispy chicken, a dollop of sour cream, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the honey lime mixture. These tacos pair well with a side of Mexican street corn for a complete meal.
