Crispy Cheesy Chicken Tacos
A delicious and simple chicken taco full of cheesy goodness all in a crispy shell
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken Thighs boneless, skinless
- 1 qt Chicken Broth
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 18 Fajita-Sized Tortillas
- 3 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
- Frying Oil enough for 1 inch deep in pan
Instructions
- In a sauce pan over medium-high heat, add chicken, chicken broth, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Let cook for 20 minutes.
- Add oil to frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from sauce pan and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Place a portion of chicken and cheese in center of tortilla and fold over, pressing down to help it keep its shape. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Note: it's best to prep all of the tacos before you start frying. The frying process happens quickly and it's best to have them all ready.
- Once the oil is hot enough, begin frying the tacos. Start by holding the tortilla with tongs from the top center, so that the bottom fold in free. Start by holding the tortilla in the hot oil for 15 seconds so the shape is created. Then lay flat on each side, cooking for 20 seconds each. Remove to a paper towel lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tacos. Note: you will want to skim off the collected cheese from the oil every 6 tacos or so.
- Serve with your favorite taco toppings.
