Grilled Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Lime Ranch

You can never have to many taco recipes, especially when they include something cooked on the grill! These Grilled Chicken Tacos are so easy to make yet they are deliciously flavorful and packed with irresistible Southwestern flavors!

Have you ever tried adding ranch to your tacos? I love it, but even more so I love cilantro lime ranch on tacos, and now that’s easier than ever to do thanks to the new Hidden Valley® Cilantro Lime Ranch!

It’s perfect for easy weeknight meals because of course you don’t have to take the extra time to make your own dressing, and as far as flavor goes this is definitely my new favorite Hidden Valley Dressing! I love it’s bright flavor and creamy texture.

Normally I’m all about the classic Mexican flavored tacos but I love this tasty spin on chicken tacos. I mean what isn’t ranch good with?

You can also add in other toppings you like. You can’t go wrong with avocados. Enjoy!
