  • Add the coleslaw mix and toss to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate.
  • MAKE THE CHICKEN CONES::
  • Wipe out the food processor.
  • Add the cornflakes, almonds, sesame seeds, sugar, red pepper and salt and pulse until coarsely chopped.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large, shallow bowl.
  • In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk.
  • Fill a third shallow bowl with flour.
  • Dredge the chicken strips in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Dip them in the eggs, then roll them in the cornflake mixture.
  • Set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil.
  • Working in batches, fry the chicken over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden brown, 6 minutes; transfer to the rack.
  • Set the fried chicken on the tortillas and top with the mango/jalapeno slaw.
  • Roll up and eat right away.
