1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. By hand or in a food processor, crush tortilla chips until they’re crumbled into fine pieces
3. Set up a breading station with three bowls:
- Bowl 1: Combine flour, 1 tsp fajita seasoning, and 1 tsp sea salt
- Bowl 2: Add oil for dipping.
- Bowl 3: Add the crumbled tortilla chips with the remaining 1 tsp fajita seasoning
Coat each chicken tender as follows:
