Ingredients
800g chicken breasts
Salt, to taste
250 g plain (all purpose) flour
4 eggs, lightly beaten
300g dry breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 large wheat tortillas
Iceberg lettuce, washed, dried and shredded
Guacamole
Method
-
Fillet the chicken breasts into four servings. Pat dry with paper towel or clean cloth. Season with salt.
-
Put the flour on one plate, the egg in a bowl and breadcrumbs on another plate. Coat the chicken with flour, coat with the beaten egg and roll in the breadcrumbs to coat completely.
-
In a deep fryer or saucepan, heat enough oil that will allow the chicken to submerge. When hot, and fry the chicken fillets one or two at a time depending on the size of your fryer. Fry for 6–8 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
-
Heat tortillas in the oven for 1–2 minutes. Alternatively, heat a frypan and add the tortillas, one at a time. Cook for 1–2 minutes each side. Keep warm while you heat the rest of the tortillas.
-
To serve, slice chicken breasts into thick strips and place on the hot tortillas. Add the lettuce and guacamole on top of the chicken.
