Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch Tacos 🌮

For the Chicken
	•	2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, small chop
	•	2 tsp garlic powder
	•	1 tsp onion powder
	•	1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
	•	1 tsp chili powder
	•	1 ½ tsp salt
	•	½ tsp black pepper
	•	1–2 Tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

For the Tacos
	•	8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
	•	2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
	•	1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or 2 cups if you like them extra cheesy)
	•	½ cup ranch dressing 
	•	3 green onions, finely chopped
	•	20–24 street taco–size flour tortillas
	•	2 Tbsp olive oil (for brushing tortillas)

Homemade Chipotle Ranch
	•	½ cup mayonnaise
	•	⅓ cup sour cream
	•	1–2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
	•	2 chipotle peppers in adobo (use 1 for milder heat)
	•	1 Tbsp adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
	•	1 Tbsp ranch seasoning
	•	½ tsp chicken bouillon
	•	1–2 Tbsp milk (optional, to thin if needed)

Directions 
	1.	Cook bacon until crispy; crumble and set aside.
	2.	Make chipotle ranch: blend mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, chipotles, adobo, ranch seasoning, bouillon; thin with milk if needed. Chill.
	3.	Season chopped chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
	4.	Heat 1–2 Tbsp oil in a skillet; cook chicken until browned and cooked through (165°F). Let cool 5–10 min.
	5.	In a large bowl, mix cooled chicken, bacon, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, green onions, and ranch until coated.
	6.	Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
	7.	Lay tortillas on the sheet. Brush one side lightly with oil, then flip. Add ¼ cup filling to the un-oiled side, fold in half, and arrange on the sheet.
	8.	Bake 8-10 min, flip tacos, then bake 5–7 min more until crispy and golden.
	9.	Serve warm with chipotle ranch for dipping. Enjoy!
