Ingredients

    • All-purpose flour
    • Cornstarch
    • Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne
  • For the Street Corn Mix:
    • Grilled corn (or canned corn, drained)
    • Mayonnaise
    • Cotija cheese (or feta)
    • Lime juice
    • Cilantro

  • To Assemble:
    • Small tortillas (corn or flour)
    • Extra cilantro, lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

  • Prep the Chicken: Marinate chicken in buttermilk for 1 hour (or overnight for extra tenderness).
  • Bread the Chicken: Combine flour, cornstarch, and spices in a bowl. Dredge marinated chicken in the mixture until well-coated.
  • Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet and fry chicken until golden and crispy. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
  • Prepare the Street Corn Mix: Grill or sauté corn, then mix with mayo, cotija cheese, lime juice, cilantro, and chili powder.
  • Make the Jalapeno Lime Ranch: Blend ranch dressing with jalapeno, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro until smooth.
  • Assemble the Tacos: Warm tortillas, add fried chicken, top with street corn mix, and drizzle with jalapeno lime ranch. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a healthier option, air-fry the chicken instead of deep-frying.
  • Adjust jalapeno amount based on your spice tolerance.
  • Leftover street corn mix can be served as a side dish or used as a dip.
