For a fun kid-friendly meal, check out this amazing tortilla crusted chicken!
Sometimes, I want a break from ordinary dinner options. Especially, when it comes to cooking with my daughter, I like to let her get really creative with our recipes.
We came up with a super delicious take on fried chicken. We made a crust out of crushed tortilla chips and a little bit of taco seasoning! Wow! This chicken came out so amazingly delicious!
The tortilla chips create an amazing crunchy coating. The taco seasoning adds the perfect amount of spice. Plus, let’s be honest, all kids love taco seasoning. By using it, I knew my daughter would enjoy the flavor of the chicken.
This is such a fun recipe for kids. My daughter LOVED crushing the tortilla chips. She also battered the chicken. It was so much fun!
For fun dipping sauces, try using queso, salsa or taco sauce.
I hope you enjoy this delicious tortilla crusted chicken recipe!
