French Tacos

What are French tacos? Well they aren’t really tacos and they don’t really have many French ingredients either. It’s known as a quick, but filling meal. Meat, fries, and sauce are loaded up in a flour tortilla before being folded up and pressed. I mean what’s not to like?

Rosemary Garlic Chicken

  1. Using a knife thin out the thick side of the chicken breast. Sprinkle salt on both sides. (Optional) Place on a plate in the fridge overnight.

  2. Using a paper towel, dry the exterior of the chicken. Grate the garlic and sprinkle the rosemary over the chicken. Pour a little oil over the chicken and rub in the garlic and rosemary.

  3. Add enough oil to the pan to shallow fry the chicken, and set over medium heat (350-375 F)

  4. Once the oil is hot, gently lay the chicken down. Fry on both sides until the crust is golden brown and the internal temp reaches at least 155 F (68 C). Slice and enjoy.
