We've finally crossed the streams with this one, combining two the most beloved foodstuffs into one. Beloved meal #1: crispy fried chicken, crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside. And we make that the base of beloved meal #2, that hand-held, tortilla-cased thing of beauty, tacos. These two come together to make beloved meal #3, the dinner you're looking at right here.
