All rights reserved. --- The main component of this taco is no fancier than any Southern grandma's fried chicken, but when you wrap the refried strips in a warm flour tortilla with Jalapeño-Lime Mayonnaise, the taste is unforgettable. I use this simple formula to create endless specials, such as the two popular variations that follow.

Steps:
- Seasoned Flour Coating:.
- In a container, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour with 4 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Makes 2 cups.
- NOTE: Texture is as important as flavor in my dishes-especially when it comes to tacos. My coating mixtures can be mixed and matched with various meats and vegetables before frying or sautéing, adding both flavor and crunch. They keep for 3 months tightly covered and are great to have on hand when you are short on ideas for dinner. Use as directed in the recipes that call for them, or swap them out. Then add gravy, a ribbon of flavored mayonnaise, or a drizzle of a simple sauce, and you have created your own masterpiece!
- Jalapeño-Lime Mayonnaise:.
- Makes 2 1/4 cups.
- Blending mayonnaise with hot chiles is a great way to soften the chiles' flavor. Here are three variations on this pairing with distinctive results. I specify a blender for one and a food processor for the others, depending on how much texture I want. If I am going to squeeze the mayo through a bottle, then I want it as smooth as possible, but if I am going to spread it or spoon it on, I might want some little pieces. This is up to you.
- Place the mayonnaise, lime juice, jalapeño, and salt in a blender and puree. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Taco Recipe:.
- Place three medium bowls on your work surface. In the first bowl, whisk together the egg with the milk. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. You can do this the night before.
- Place the seasoned flour in the second bowl. In the third bowl, toss the lettuce with the tomatoes.
- Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven or deep, heavy pot over high heat until it is 350 degrees F.
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Remove a few pieces of chicken from the milk, dredge in the flour, and shake off the excess. Gently place in the hot oil. Cook until light brown, crispy, and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Keep warm in the oven while you fry the remaining chicken. Allow the oil to return to 350 degrees F between batches.
- Set a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla and heat on both sides for a minute or two, until a few dark spots appear. Remove to a plate. Place 2 chicken tenders in the center of the tortilla, top with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise and some of the lettuce and tomato, and fold. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN TACOS
This weeknight chicken dinner takes advantage of canned green chiles, a flavorful and time-saving pantry staple. The green chiles have already been roasted, peeled and chopped for ease; simply combine them with spices and broth for a quick sauce with nice mild heat and smoky notes. Chicken thighs are an affordable cut that's juicy, tender and rich with flavor, but chicken breast could also be used here for leaner (but just as tasty) tacos. Leftovers can be turned into a zesty pasta salad or used as a hearty omelet or frittata filling.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix oil with oregano and cumin. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. To the skillet add 2 tablespoons of the seasoned oil, half of the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and is lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer chicken to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and remaining chicken to the skillet and repeat.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion and bell pepper to the empty skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add green chiles, broth and chicken (along with any accumulated juices) and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the liquid is absorbed, the mixture is thick and the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, avocado, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
