Potato Chip Chicken Strips
Better. The best chicken strips I've ever made...maybe!? These homemade chicken strips are so, so, so, so much better than other chicken strips.

Then you warm the corn tortillas on the grill. Then you make the tacos and load each one with a fresh coleslaw with a hint of dill. And if you're feeling crazy, you can toss on a little shredded mozzarella … [Read more...]
