Equipment

Ingredients

TACOS

  • 12 Small Tortillas
  • 1 Package Ground Chicken
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • ½ Cup Buffalo Sauce

SLAW

  • 1 Cup Iceberg Lettuce shredded
  • 1 Cup Green Cabbage shredded

RANCH

  • 1 Handful Fresh Chives chopped
  • 1 Handful Fresh Parsley chopped
  • 1 Handful Fresh Basil chopped
  • 1 Handful Fresh Dill chopped
  • 1 Clove Garlic grated
  • 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • ½ Cup Mayo
  • 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ Lemon juiced & zested
  • Salt & Pepper

GARNISHES

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, shredded cheese and buffalo sauce. Mix well.
  • Lay the tortillas on a lined baking sheet. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, then press it down firmly into each tortilla to form a “smashed” taco base. Spray the tacos with cooking spray / avocado oil spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the edges of the tortillas are slightly crispy. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end or until they are your desired of crispy.
  • In a small bowl, combine chives, parsley, basil, dill, garlic, Greek yogurt, mayo, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and zest. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a medium bowl, toss shredded iceberg and cabbage with half of the ranch dressing.
  • Top the baked chicken-filled tortillas with the slaw, and a drizzle of remaining ranch. Garnish with fresh parsley, extra cheese, a squeeze of lime, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
