Or 'Ranch Chicken Tacos'.
Yeah, that sounds better.
It is exactly what it sounds like, folks. The short story behind these tacos is that I was not at all enthusiastic about making dinner tonight. Chicken tacos didn't excite me at all. Also, I only had two rather small chicken breasts to work with. I started wondering how I could make dinner more interesting, and I came up with ranch. Ranch is good on pretty much everything, right?
This is embarrassingly simple, and they were actually pretty good. I think next time I would add more ranch or at least more meat if I had it available.
Cook up a couple of chicken breasts and slice them up. Toss the chicken with taco seasoning. I didn't have a packet on hand, so I just tossed in some chili powder, cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, oregano, garlic powder, onion flakes, salt and pepper. Use more chili powder than cumin and slightly more cumin than the rest of the ingredients.
(Pre-tossing.)
Next, add in some ranch dressing. How much is really up to you! I used enough to coat the chicken.
Finally, chop/slice/shred up the rest of your taco fixin's. Heat up some tortillas or hard shells, and you are good to go. This couldn't be easier!
I used the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, homemade salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, a little extra ranch (in place of sour cream), and a squeeze of lime.
Quick, easy, tasty...three of my favorite things! Unfortunately, there was only enough for four very small tacos. That's two for me tonight and two for Chris's lunch tomorrow. No leftovers for me. Sad day.
Unless, of course, you all would like to make some and send them to me. If you can overnight them, I certainly wouldn't object!
