# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Mix a little milk into your ranch dressing if you want it thinner. Drizzle the ranch over your tacos, then top with parsley or cilantro. Throw on some black pepper for that little extra.
02 -
Stuff each shell with some lettuce, the cooked chicken, your chopped bacon, then sprinkle on tomato and cheddar if you're into it.
03 -
Pop those taco shells in your oven so they get crunchy. Just go by what the package says.
04 -
Grab your skillet, cook bacon strips until they're good and crisp. Lay them out on paper towels so they're not greasy, then chop them up.
05 -
Put a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chicken strips and let them cook for about 5 or 6 minutes per side till they look golden and done. Set them aside.
06 -
Cut up your chicken breasts into strips. Drop them in a bowl with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, then add salt and pepper. Give it all a good toss.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Let your seasoned chicken hang out in the spices for 10–15 minutes before cooking if you have time for more flavor.
