Easy chicken recipes are the goal right now. Taco nights are also increasing over here since they are simple, versatile, and tasty.

Chicken ranch tacos will now be in our meal rotation permanently. Adding ranch seasoning to shredded chicken adds so much flavor.

Shredded chicken tacos are always good, but the tangy flavor of ranch brings them to another level.

I think I will make a double-decker taco pizza using this shredded chicken with ranch filling next time!

Easy Chicken Tacos Recipe with Ranch

This chicken tacos recipe is incredibly easy. All you are really doing is adding a packet of ranch seasoning.

Have you ever seen one of those memes about midwesterners and ranch dressing? I’ve seen ones that say something about people in the midwest sitting on their front porches sipping on ranch dressing. Pretty sure that will be exactly me soon!

I’ve always loved ranch dressing, but lately, I put it on everything. Fitting the midwestern stereotype perfectly and loving every minute of it, you can always find ranch dressing mix in my cabinet!

Notes: Swap the shredded chicken for ground chicken, ground turkey, or ground beef.

Use your favorite type of shredded cheese and additional toppings. This taco recipe is very versatile and feel free to tweak it to your liking or to fit what you have on hand.

I like to use low-carb tortillas to keep this taco recipe more keto friendly.
