1\/4 cup crema mexicana or sour cream<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese <\/span><\/p>\n

Hot sauce, to taste<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a large pot, preheat oil to 375\u00c2\u00b0F. Remove skin and bones from the chicken and shred meat into a medium bowl. Add lime juice, chili powder, paprika, cumin, and salt and pepper and toss to combine. Place a big pinch of chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Using tongs gently fold each tortilla around filling and hold under the oil for a minute before releasing; let it fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Fry tacos a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Drain on paper towels and season with salt to taste. Gently hold each taco open and add toppings as desired. <\/span><\/p>\n
