  2. 2
    Marinate 15 minutes.
  3. 3
    Heat the oil In a grill pan over high heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveGrill pan
    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  4. 4
    Fry the chicken in a single layer 4–5 minutes per side, until it is golden and cooked through.
    Stove
    💡Chicken pieces in a single layer, left alone until the underside releases, sear and brown; in a crowded pan they release liquid and steam.
  5. 5
    Heat a dry pan, and warm the tortillas in it for 30 seconds per side.

  6. 6
    Spread the sour cream on the tortillas and lay the chicken strips on top. Add the tomatoes, red onion, avocado and cilantro and squeeze the lime over the top.
