Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the grain-free tortilla chips until they’re crumbled into fine pieces.
Set up a breading station with three bowls:
- Bowl 1: Combine almond flour, arrowroot starch, 1 tsp fajita seasoning, and 1 tsp sea salt.
- Bowl 2: Add melted coconut oil for dipping.
- Bowl 3: Add the crumbled tortilla chips with the remaining 1 tsp fajita seasoning.
Coat each chicken tender as follows:
- Dip in the flour mixture.
- Coat in melted coconut oil.
- Cover with the chip seasoning mixture.
Place the coated tenders on the lined sheet and spray with avocado oil.
Bake for 20 minutes until lightly crispy, then switch to broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Let the tenders cool for a few minutes, then dip in your favorite Primal Kitchen buffalo sauce and enjoy!
