# How to Make It:
01 - Combine chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb flavors.
02 - Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh dill, chives, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to preference and refrigerate until serving.
03 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 2-3 oz portions of marinated chicken in the pan and use a spatula or burger press to smash into thin patties. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining chicken.
04 - Wipe skillet clean. For each taco, sprinkle a thin, even layer of mixed cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses in a 4-5 inch circle. Place a tortilla directly on top and cook 1-2 minutes until cheese is golden and crisp. Flip carefully and warm tortilla for 30 seconds. Remove cheese-side up. Repeat for all tortillas.
05 - Spread a generous spoonful of ranch sauce over the crispy cheese side of each tortilla. Layer with smashed chicken, sliced dill pickles, red onion, and shredded lettuce. Drizzle with additional ranch sauce if desired and serve immediately.
