Fried Chicken Tacos

How can you go wrong when you have Fried Chicken, Street Corn in a taco? Oh did I mention that it’s topped off with Jalapeno Lime Ranch? You’re Welcome!

It’s that time of year again! It’s my son Ben’s birthday! If this is your first time to the blog, let me explain. This son proclaimed to the family that none of us had personality until he was born. lol! Good thing he was born, right?

He just turned 34 and every year, he gets pretty excited to pick out something new for his birthday dinner. At first, it seemed a little crazy what he was choosing but I realized that we have tried things that we would of never tried, if it wasn’t for Ben.

When he told me that this was his choice for this years birthday, I didn’t know if I would love it. I was afraid it would be too spicy or the different flavors would not compliment each other, but they certainly did!

FRIED CHICKEN

You can deep fry your own chicken tenders for this recipe but I like to go simple and have less grease. That’s why I baked our chicken. It made it so easy to assemble these bad boys. You could also go pick up some chicken tenders from the local chicken place.

TORTILLAS

I’m loving the cute little street taco shells or you can make your own. Cassie made ours and they were delicious!

Lime Ranch

In a food processor (or blender works too), puree cilantro leaves with the jalapenos. Puree until mostly smooth, scraping down the sides a few times. Add the mayo, sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Add lime juice, then add in buttermilk a little at a time until you reach desired consistency. Store in a mason jar or a salad dressing container. Refrigerate up to five days. Best served chilled so they flavors have time to melt together.
