Cooking

  2. When the oil is hot, place two or three tacos, meat-side down, in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges are crispy.
  3. Carefully flip the tacos over and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden.
  4. Check that the chicken is fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).

To achieve the best texture, ensure the skillet is preheated. Keep cooked tacos warm in a low oven covered with foil if cooking in batches. Customize with additional sauces for extra flavor.
