Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, cumin, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and chipotle peppers. Add the chicken breasts to the buttermilk mixture and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
To assemble the torta, slice the fried chicken breasts in half and place on a lightly toasted bun. Top with the slaw mixture, sliced avocado, and a dollop of chipotle aioli. Serve immediately and enjoy!
