📖 Variations
The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the delicious recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our slow cooker chicken ranch tacos recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:
Substitute the chili powder for hot sauce, smoked paprika, or cayenne pepper.
You can use this same recipe to make pork tacos also.
Crunchy taco shells or soft corn tortillas also work great in this recipe.

🍴 Serving Suggestions
Serve your tacos with all your favorite toppings. In my house, it varies but we usually include some sort of store-bought or homemade salsa or pico de gallo. I also love to put out avocado or guacamole.
For this meal, I also have ranch dressing on hand which perfectly compliments the flavor of the ranch seasoning mix.
