Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Bacon:
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble into pieces.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable. Alternatively, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the warm tortillas. Top each with crumbled bacon, shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the Ranch Dressing:
- Drizzle ranch dressing over each taco to your liking.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve the Chicken Bacon Ranch Tacos immediately, with extra ranch dressing on the side if desired.
