These Southern fried chicken tacos are my go to when I need dinner on the table fast but don't want to sacrifice on flavor. Using pre made chicken goujons means you'll have everything ready in just 25 minutes total, which is perfect for busy weeknights. I love that the soured cream brings probiotics to the table alongside all that crispy, satisfying chicken. The fresh Little Gem lettuce adds a lovely crunch and keeps things feeling lighter than you'd expect. Honestly, once you've assembled these the first time, you'll find yourself making them constantly because they're so simple, so delicious, and honestly quite budget friendly too.
