Steps (4)

  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 Love this! Sauce is amazing! The chicken turned out perfectly! Adding salsa with ranch instead of using the normal traditional envelope of red powder for tacos is going to be my new go-to! Also, the secret sauce adds the perfect amount of creaminess you'd want from sour cream, but with a flavor overload! It's perfectly perfect - not too hot and not too overpowering! I could eat it with a spoon! I definitely recommend this recipe!
