I didn't really follow the measurements for this recipe. I crushed up a lot of tortilla chips (but not too finely) and added enough taco seasoning until it looked well mixed and not overpowering. I didn't use drumettes (even though I love dark meat) but I did have one thigh broken apart for Mom. I used breast tenderloins for the other pieces. I had to crush tortilla chips x2 and added in about the same amount of taco seasoning with plenty left over for more.

We also made our own "lettuce wrap tacos" with sour cream, cherry tomatoes, cheese on romaine hearts. The combination worked well together :)
