    Sarah- Hey guys, we are back! First of all, happy new years, hope you guys had a very happy holidays with your families. I'm still trying to transition back into my normal routine. So quick meals are getting me through since I returned from vacation. I decide to share a quick, yummy,  and easy meal with you today. It's Fried Chicken Tacos. I can't tell you enough how delicious this is.

    WHICH OIL TO FRY IN?

    It's basically fried chicken. It's my favorite kind of taco. I fry it in extra virgin olive oil, I know some people use canola oil or vegetable oil but to me it taste the best with olive oil and it's much healthier than using another types of oil.

    AVOCADOS LOVE OR HATE?

    The layer of avocado is a healthier option i always opt for. I learned to love avocado in my late 20s, now in my early 30s I LOVE AVOCADOS. I never use to love cheese but recently I discovered my love for cheese.

    HOW DO YOU MARINATE IT?

    In this recipe, I marinate the chicken tenders in salt and garlic to get rid of the smell, I marinate for 2 hours. I have also tried to do it without marination it doesn't taste the smell, I'm left with smell in my chicken which is not something I would like to eat. Also, always fry the chicken on medium low. I can't tell you how many times I brunt the chicken. Fried chicken tacos are the most delicious you have to make it to believe it.
