CHICKEN-RANCH TACOS

Chicken-Ranch Tacos image

All ingredients amounts may be adjusted to taste --- you may substitute the bottled Hidden Valley Ranch dressing for the package, I prefer the package --- I have even made these using Caesar salad dressing from my recipe#116849 instead of the Ranch :)

Ingredients

6 -8 taco shells (I use the stand n' stuff)
2 tablespoons oil
5 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into small bite-size pieces)
0.5 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix (can use more to taste)
1 (28 g) package hidden valley ranch dressing mix
2 cups shredded head lettuce
1 -2 tomatoes, finely chopped
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or to taste)
2 -3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

In a small bowl mix together the dry ranch dressing mix with 1 cup milk and 1 cup of mayonnaise (or according to the package directions for dressing, I also add in 1 teaspoon fresh garlic but that is optional) mix until well combined; refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add in the chicken cubes and toss with a spoon until cooked through, seasoning with the taco mix just before the chicken is finished cooking (do not overcook the chicken cubes or they will be dry) transfer to a bowl.
Divide the cooked chicken cubes between each taco shell, then drizzle the top of the chicken with a small amount of prepared Ranch dressing (make certain to save some dressing to drizzle on the top of the tacos).
Top with a small amount of shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, then green onion.
Drizzle the top of the tacos with more ranch dressing.
Delicious!
