Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded fried chicken
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and corn kernels. Sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the corn is slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  4. To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of fried chicken on each tortilla, followed by a scoop of the sautéed corn, shredded cabbage, and avocado slices.
  5. Drizzle with Jalapeño Lime Ranch and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the fiesta of flavors!
