Crispy Tortilla Crusted Chicken Tacos



3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 eggs
2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
2 to 2 1/2 c. crushed tortilla chips
1/2 c. vegetable oil
extra virgin olive oil
18 sm. fresh corn tortillas
2 c shredded cabbage or lettuce
2 med. ripe avocados (we just used guacamole instead)
1/2 c. fresh cilantro, gently chopped

Slice chicken breasts into strips, dip in beaten eggs and then into flour, salt and pepper mixture. Place floured chicken pieces back into egg mixture and roll chicken strip in finely crussed tortilla chips. In a medium hot skillet lightly saute chicken strips in vegetable oils until golden brown. Drizzle olive oil in a separate skillet and lightly fry corn tortillas until golden. Do not over cook. Place chicken strips in tortilla, and add toppings of lettuce, guacamole, tomatoes, onions, salsa, ranch dressing or sour cream, and cheese.

My family really enjoyed this recipe. I got this from the Gathering Of Friends recipe book Vol. 2.

We served this with a fruit salad I will post shortly.
