The great thing about taco night is it never gets boring. There are so many different ways to make tacos and Ortega has everything we need to keep taco night exciting from seasoning to sauces and taco shells. These BBQ Ranch Chicken Tacos take two of our favorite things, BBQ, and Mexican food, and combine them into one awesome dinner!

Every good taco starts with the taco shell. Ortega has a huge selection of taco shells including Yellow Corn, White Corn, Whole Grain Corn new Good Grains Yellow Corn & Red Bell Pepper, and Good Grains Yellow Corn & Spinach Taco Shells. All Ortega Taco Shells are made the traditional way, with 100% whole kernel corn, not corn flour, which gives them their distinctive and authentic flavor, aroma, and texture. I tried the new Good Grains Red Yellow Corn & Bell Pepper with my BBQ Ranch Chicken Taco recipe and the whole family loved them!

To fill the tacos I cubed up chicken breast and cooked it with Ortega Taco Seasoning according to the package instructions. If you want, you could cook the chicken breasts whole after seasoning and then shred them with two forks for shredded chicken tacos. Then I mixed together my favorite BBQ sauce and Ortega Chipotle Flavor Craver Sauce to make a smokey chipotle BBQ sauce. Ortega Taco Sauce is the #1 Best Selling Taco Sauce in America for a reason! The Flavor Craver Chipotle Sauce is amazing all on its own, and it adds the perfect amount of smoky chipotle flavor and spice to the sweet BBQ sauce. Once you have your BBQ sauce mixture toss the chicken in it and pack it into the Good Grains Yellow Corn & Red Bell Pepper taco shells.

Now is the part where you can get creative. Taco toppings should be whatever you like on your tacos. I went with some corn, fresh tomatoes, and cheese but you can add avocados, shredded lettuce, a little sour cream, or anything else that makes you happy.

Whatever you do don’t forget the Ortega Flavor Craver Ranch Taco Sauce. That’s what brings all of these awesome BBQ and taco flavors together. The ranch taco flavor is perfect. In fact, I had a taco day this week and made myself a tortilla bowl using the new Ortega Bakeable Tortilla Bowl Kit. I put all of my taco fillings in a tortilla bowl with some lettuce and topped it with Flavor Craver Taco Ranch Sauce as my dressing. It was SO GOOD!

Start your own taco night tradition and let Ortega help you. Ortega Taco Kits include everything you need for that perfect quick dinner or after-school snack. Just add beef, poultry, fish or vegetables! If you’re looking for a few more easy taco recipes make sure you give my Carne Asada Tacos, and Salsa Verde Shrimp Tacos a try!
