Ingredients
Scale

- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat oil in a skillet for pan-frying.
- Set up three bowls with flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs mixed with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge chicken slices in flour, dip into egg, then coat well with seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Cook chicken in a skillet with olive oil until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side, or bake for 18–20 minutes until crisp.
- Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
