Now let’s dive into the process of making your Fried Chicken Street Corn Tacos:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and chicken breasts. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.

2. Prepare the Coating: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat for frying.

4. Coat the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk and let any excess drip off. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture until fully coated.

5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Ensure the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

6. Make Street Corn Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, pepper, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Stir until well mixed.

7. Prepare Jalapeño Lime Ranch: Blend ranch dressing, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a small bowl until creamy and smooth.

8. Warm Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.

9. Assemble Tacos: Slice the fried chicken into strips. On each tortilla, place some of the street corn salad, add fried chicken strips, and drizzle with jalapeño lime ranch.

10. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

Following these steps will ensure you create a plate of Fried Chicken Street Corn Tacos that is as delicious as it is visually appealing!
