Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 8 soft tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- ½ cup sour cream
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice. Drizzle over the baked chicken strips.
- To assemble, 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.
