  1. 1

    Season the chicken thighs with the ranch seasoning mix.

  2. 2

    Add the olive oil to a large skillet placed over high heat. When it begins to shimmer, add the chicken and sear on both sides for about 3 minutes, until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add salsa to the skillet and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to medium and let the chicken cook for 25–30 minutes. Turn the heat off and using two forks, shred the chicken.

  4. 4

    Spoon the chicken into the warmed tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, avocado chunks and the spicy secret sauce. Serve immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Spicy Chicken Tacos This was a wonderful change from the beef tacos. The recipe is easy to follow and the chicken had a great flavor to it. I used soft shells over the corn shells sincie this is my family's preference. I would definitely make these again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flavor on point Something about the ranch seasoning mixed with salsa is unexpectedly delicious. I served with avocado, shredded cheese and sour cream. Used crispy taco shells and soft tacos to give my family a variety. It's a hit every time I serve it.
