Easy Ranch Chicken Tacos are not only super easy to make, but they are ridiculously tasty. My son does not even like ranch dressing and he loved these tacos. The combination of taco seasoning and ranch created a wonderful flavor! We love various kinds of tacos and Mexican food, so Easy Ranch Chicken Tacos will be an excellent new addition to my menu planning. I made mine into a taco salad with different toppings and a little additional ranch dressing, and I thoroughly enjoyed it that way.
I made Easy Ranch Chicken Tacos on a baseball game day, but we did not need to be there until 6:15. Usually we have to leave as soon as my son gets off the bus and puts on his uniform, to be at the field by 4:15. It was nice to have some more time to relax before leaving, but I still wanted a simple, yet delicious, dinner that had plenty of protein to keep my son full throughout his game. Early that morning, I began my search for yummy chicken dinners and was so glad I found these tacos at Do You Smell That?
Easy Ranch Chicken Tacos are flavorful, quick and easy to make, and a great meal for the entire family!

April 18, 2013 at 10:26 amUntil recently, I have always been a person who wanted ground beef in her tacos. Then I tried a shrimp taco and loved it. Now I want to try one of these. They look just great and I bet the ranch flavoring is wonderful!
Thank you for sharing this at the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party. I look forward to seeing what you bring next week!
