Nashville Hot Chicken Tacos- crispy fried chicken tenders are coated in a cayenne pepper sauce and served in tortillas with pickled jalapeno mayonnaise and dill pickle slices. These southern tacos are HOT & SPICY!

 
Fantastic for gameday, lunch or dinner. Such a great fusion of southern and Mexican food. I love to think outside the box when it comes to tacos. Just about anything tastes good in a taco.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN TACOS RECIPE:
The chicken tenders are double coated in flour mixture for a crispy coating.
There’s tons of seasoning. The flour coating is seasoned with cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and white pepper. The spicy sauce that coats the chicken has lots of cayenne pepper and a little brown sugar.
The pickles and the creamy mayonnaise flavored with pickled jalapenos add another flavor dimension.
 
WHAT IS NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN"
It’s a super spicy southern fried chicken that’s flavored with hot sauce and lots of cayenne pepper. It is usually served on white bread with dill pickle chips to help tame the heat.
Use either flour or corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are more authentic, but I prefer flour. Use what you like.
