Chicken Chipotle Tacos (Zaxby's Remake) #zaxbys #chickenchipotletacos

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt maintains creaminess with fewer calories.

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flour tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrients.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: cucumber

Mashed peas provide creaminess at a lower cost.

Wash and clean 4 to 5 lbs of chicken tenders.

Season the chicken tenders with roasted garlic and herb seasoning, seasoning salt, kicking chicken seasoning, and 1/4 cup hot sauce.

Pour 2 cups of buttermilk over the seasoned chicken and mix well.

Refrigerate the chicken to marinate.

Prepare pico de gallo by dicing Roma tomatoes, 4 jalapeno peppers, and green onions (using both white and green parts).

Chop cilantro and mix all pico de gallo ingredients in a bowl.

Refrigerate the pico de gallo to chill.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup seasoned flour with 3 cups regular flour for the batter.

Coat the marinated chicken tenders in the flour mixture and let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat a deep fryer to 350°F.

Deep fry the chicken tenders until golden brown and they float to the top, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Assemble tacos using taco shells, placing the fried chicken inside.

For kids' tacos, use only lettuce, cheese, and chicken without pico de gallo.

For the creator's own taco, add pico de gallo and drizzle with chipotle ranch sauce.
