Enjoy a fun twist on taco night with crispy dill pickle ranch smash chicken tacos that are flavorful, crunchy, and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup dill pickle slices
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
  2. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well, letting the spices coat the chicken evenly. Continue to cook for another minute to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
  3. In another pan, add a bit more oil if needed and toss in the dill pickle slices. Fry them until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Set them aside on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
  4. In the same skillet, briefly warm each corn tortilla on both sides for about 30 seconds until soft and pliable.
  5. Start by placing a generous portion of the seasoned ground chicken onto each tortilla. Top it off with crispy dill pickles, a handful of shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
  6. Drizzle ranch dressing generously over the top, and don’t forget a dollop of sour cream for that extra creaminess.
  7. Serve these tacos immediately while they’re warm and crispy.

Notes

Experiment with toppings like sliced avocados or fresh cilantro for added flavor. Leftover filling can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
