Description
Tangy and creamy tacos filled with juicy shredded chicken, dill pickles, and ranch dressing, topped with crispy cheese lace.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Taco shells
- Chopped onions and cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil, and cook the chicken until cooked through, about 6–7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let rest, then shred using two forks.
- Combine the shredded chicken with chopped dill pickles and ranch dressing in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Sprinkle shredded cheese in a round shape and let it melt until golden, about 2–3 minutes. Lift once set to cool on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Fill taco shells with the chicken mixture and top with crispy cheese lace. Garnish with onions and cilantro if desired.
- Serve immediately while the cheese lace is crisp and the filling is warm.
