4. Fry the coated chicken in hot oil for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Place on paper towels to drain. Place the chicken in a bowl and cover with the hot sauce mixture. Stir until coated and set aside.
5. Using the same oil, cook each tortilla until crisp folding into a taco shell as you cook. Place two chicken tenders in each taco shell and top; blue cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. Mix the hot sauce with the sour cream and put a dollop on each taco
6. garnish with guacamole and/or diced onion.
