Fried Chicken Tacos with Buttermilk Jalapeño Sauce

Fried-Chicken-Tacos-with-Buttermilk-Jalapeno-Sauce

If you are looking for a super simple recipe to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, then you have come to the right place.  These tacos start with store-bought fried chicken fingers (or restaurant bought in my case, I went by Zaxby’s).  I  mixed up a packet of Ranch dressing mix for my dressing then combined everything in the food processor for a quick and tasty dressing.  This recipe is a Southern Living recipe, and they suggest that this dressing is also a great dip for wings.  Add more jalapeño for more heat or reduce the amount for less.  This is a great weeknight dinner that you can have on the table in very little time!

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money
