Jalapeño Ranch Crispy Chicken Soft Taco




Jalapeño Ranch Crispy Chicken Soft Taco

 I had a Habanero Crispy Chicken Soft Taco at Del Taco a few weeks ago.  It was so good, and has been on my find.  I wanted to make something similar.  This is not a copycat, this recipe was inspired by Del Taco’s taco. 

 Lets start with making the sauce.

 Jalapeño Ranch Sauce Recipe

 Ingredients

    •    3 jalapeños

    •    ¾ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

    •    ¼ cup mayonnaise

    •    2 TBLS dry ranch mix

    •    ½ TSP garlic powder

    •    ½ TSP onion powder

    •    Fresh lime juice from 2 limes

    •    1 bunch cilantro

    •    salt & pepper to taste.

Instructions

    •    Cut open jalapenos and remove the seeds and membrane.

    •    Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor.  Pulse until smooth.

    •    Place in fridge as soon as done, let set up in fridge for 30 minutes.  I prefer putting in a squeeze bottle.

Start cooking our crispy chicken.  You can use anything you want.  Right now I would recommend the crispy chicken from Costco, Just Bare Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks.  Cooking it in the Airfryer for the extra crispness.  I cook these at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes.  

 Warm up your tortillas, I used flour street tacos.

 Start assembling your tacos.

 Add the crispy chicken

Add Jalapeno Ranch Sauce

Add Cheese

Add shredded lettuce

Add taco sauce (I used green can of El Pato)(Optional, so much flavor and heat from the Jalapeno Ranch Sauce)

The tacos turned out so good.  This sauce is fantastic and has endless uses in other dishes/tacos.  The sauce will keep for 4 days in the fridge.

The sauce is not Café Rio salad dressing, may look like it. However it puts out a slightly stronger bite.  You could definitely use it as a salad dressing for a taco salad.  

Give this a try, if you have leftover crispy chicken from another meal.  Reheat in the Airfyer and make yourself a quick taco with this recipe.

Taco Boy’s- Taco Review - Tempe AZ

Image
Taco Boy’s On Rural North of Apache Blvd. 1015 S. Rural Rd, Tempe, AZ   My cousin Kelsee Recommended this one.  Thanks Kelsee! They have a location in Phoenix and the Tempe location is a newer one.  Great place, great atmosphere and busy.  Opens  at 10am  and people are outside waiting.   Everything for the most part just comes with meat on the tortilla and you can dress it how you please from their salsa bar, cilantro, onions, sauces, cabbage and so on.  I really liked that aspect of it.   The tortillas are not made in house.  They are made by a vendor, but made fresh daily.  The cashier, not sure who he is was very friendly with me asking him about the tortillas.  Not all the taco shops have been as friendly, they sometimes take great offense to being asked if they make them in house.  Taco Boy’s has some class.   I will work on asking it, as smoothly and nicely as ...

Biscuit Tacos

Biscuit Tacos Turned out so good.  I bought these taco molds from Amazon, seem to work pretty good.  Had a disaster with frying wonton wrappers, but that is a different story.   Take some buttermilk biscuits add flour and roll them out and thin as you can.  I would recommend rolled all of the ones you are going to cook at once.  I noticed the 2 I saved for later were harder to work with being out of the fridge and opened.   I put the rolled out biscuits in the taco molds.  I can imagine that you could use a wad of foil or something to make these.  I used the airfryer, for speed and I like how it cooks bread.  I cooked at 350 degrees for 7 minutes or so turning it 3 times. It may take longer depending on your airfyer or oven.   I made Pepper Gravy from Walmart or Sams.  It is pretty cheap and easy to make.  Don’t make gravy from scratch too much, because of this mix. I...

Crumbl Cookie Review 01/18/22 week of Jan 17-22

Crumbl Cookie Review 01/18/22 week of  Jan 17-22   PEANUT BUTTER FT. REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP Our signature peanut butter cookie topped with melty peanut butter chips and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  This one the cookie was pretty peanut buttery and I liked it.  The reese’s toppings were great.   8/10   The Copycat recipe I feel tasted better than the actual crumbl. The Copycat was thinner and easier to eat chew and better texture.  Copycat recipe is from @Chahinex_tbt  https://lifestyleofafoodie.com/crumbl-peanut-butter-reeses-cookies/#recipe-link .     9/10   ROCKY ROAD A dark chocolate cookie stuffed with gooey marshmallow filling then covered in semi-sweet chocolate chips and almonds. It was very chocolaty.  The middle with the marshmallow was the best part.  If I could recreate this for myself I would have smaller marshmallows spread all around that would cook inside the cookies...
