Ingredients
- 12 ounce package frozen (uncooked) breaded chicken tenders
- olive oil
- salt
- 1/4 small red cabbage, finely shredded
- 8 corn tortillas, use 16 tortillas if you prefer to double them
- Salsa of your choice
pickled onion
- 1 small red onion, peeled and minced
- 1 lime, juiced
lime cilantro crema sauce
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 lime, juiced
- handful of cilantro* finely chopped
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Arrange your tenders on a baking sheet. This is optional but I like to lightly brush with olive oil and season with salt. Bake for 25 minutes until golden and crisp and registers 165F inside.
- Mix the minced onion with the lime juice, give it a stir and set aside.
- Whisk the crema ingredients together and taste to adjust anything to your liking. Set aside.
- When ready to assemble your tacos, heat a cast iron skillet or comal over medium high heat for several minutes until quite hot. Working with one at a time, heat the corn tortillas until lightly charred on one side, then flip and heat the other side. This won't take long, so watch them carefully. Pile them on a plate and cover with a cloth to keep warm.
- Assemble the tacos with a layer of cabbage first, then a fried chicken tender, topped with cilantro lime sauce, and a shower of pickled onions. Finish with cilantro leaves.
- Serve asap with salsa of your choice.

Notes
- *If you don't love cilantro, substitute some chili powder or chipotle chili powder for a little spicy heat in your crema. Add to taste.
