Ingredients

Scale

1 lb chicken breast (or thighs, or rotisserie chicken)
2 cups BBQ sauce (your favorite style)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
16 corn tortillas (6-inch, warmed)
1–2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, cheddar, or pepper jack)
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt to taste

Optional Toppings:
Red onion, green onion, lettuce, avocado, jalapeños, extra BBQ/ranch drizzle

Instructions

Cook Chicken: Simmer chicken with BBQ sauce + ranch mix (skillet: 15–20 mins, covered). Shred and return to sauce.
Warm Tortillas: Heat in skillet or microwave until soft. Brush one side with oil.
Assemble: In a hot skillet, place one tortilla oil-side down. Add cheese, chicken, more cheese, then top with another tortilla (oil-side up).
Griddle: Cook 2–3 mins per side over medium heat until golden and melty.
Fold: While hot, fold into taco shape. Top and serve!

Notes

Keep filling light to avoid spillover.
Use cheese directly against tortilla as a seal.
Fold immediately while warm for perfect taco form.
