Step 1
Heat 0.5 cup oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Carefully slide in 1 tortilla and fry until it puffs and turns golden, about 30 seconds per side.
Step 2
While hot, fold the fried tortilla into a taco shape and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining 5 tortillas, keeping them warm.
Step 3
Fill each shell with 1/3 cup shredded chicken and a sprinkle of cheese, letting it melt from the warmth, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Top each taco with a spoonful of sour cream and a handful of lettuce. Add diced tomato, onion, or cilantro if you have them.
Step 5
Serve immediately while crisp.
