I spent this weekend raiding the buffet tables at NULL separate occasions as though the very act of consuming was going out of style, and once I got home– regardless of the reality that I had already unbuttoned my pants simply due to the actual fact I was so stuffed– I nonetheless was eyeing the container of leftover Crispy Chicken Tacos with Avocado Buttermilk Ranch within the fridge.
Okay, extra than eyeing. Yes, after a temporary second of attempting to persuade myself that I was *stronger* than shove a pair of tacos down once I was already full, and after establishing and closing the refrigerator a complete of six times, I did it. I ate the Crispy Chicken Tacos. And I even have no regrets about it, simply due to the actual fact had I left them in there for one other day I recognise my housemate might have eaten them. Sometimes you’ve gotta share, but typically you’ve gotta struggle for what’s yours, you know?

Typically tacos include shredded, diced, or flooring meat, but I got the thought these days to make my taco filling in a single giant piece– via utilizing hen tenders. Now, earlier than you’re like “Wow Morgan, what are you, 5 years old?” permit me explain that I’m speaking about hen tenders which can be buttermilk brined and majorly amped up with a chile-spiked batter. Who wouldn’t take pleasure in a crispy, crunchy, Mexican-seasoned strip of fried hen tucked internal of a toasted tortilla alongside with recent lettuce; a creamy, home made avocado buttermilk ranch; and a sprinkle of recent cilantro?
Man, speaking about these tacos is making me desire I stored a few of these leftovers…
Now, I don’t typically preserve buttermilk handy within the fridge, so once I purchase it for a recipe, I desire to make use of as a lot of it as you will so I don’t land up letting it pass to waste. One of the vast issues about these Crispy Chicken Tacos with Avocado Buttermilk Ranch is that it makes use of buttermilk in three ways– first, to brine the chicken; second, to drizzle within the breading to create craggly bits; and lastly, to make the ranch!
And in case you nonetheless don’t really sense like choosing up buttermilk for no matter reason, I really have a bit of tip for you: Add a tablespoon of lemon juice of vinegar per cup of normal milk and permit it stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Now you've got a faux-buttermilk to make use of instead!
By the way, this recipe makes extra Avocado Buttermilk Ranch than you wish in your tacos– so save the rest and apply it to salads, as a dip, or as a sandwich spread. I used my leftover Avocado Buttermilk Ranch to make a fast pasta salad with some corn, black beans, pepper jack cheese, and chopped tomatoes. 👌👌👌

Don’t they make you desire to devour them regardless of the reality which you simply totally already ate a complete meal like 25 minutes ago?
