Crispy Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Hot Honey Ranch
30 mins prepServes 4
These crispy honey chipotle chicken tacos are filled with flavorful marinated chicken, melted Oaxaca cheese, and a quick pico, all drizzled with homemade hot honey ranch for an irresistible meal.
1. Add the chicken to a bowl with olive oil, honey, chipotle purée, lime juice, garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated and let marinate for at least 20–30 minutes.
2. Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, hot honey, dill, chives, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix until smooth, adding additional buttermilk as needed to reach the desired consistency.
3. Mix the tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt together to make the quick pico.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned, caramelized, and cooked through, allowing the honey-chipotle marinade to reduce around the chicken.
5. Add Oaxaca cheese to one half of each flour tortilla, followed by the honey-chipotle chicken and a small drizzle of hot honey ranch.
6. Fold the tortillas closed and crisp them in a small amount of beef tallow or cooking oil until golden on both sides and the cheese is fully melted.
7. Open each taco slightly and spoon in some of the fresh pico. Serve immediately with extra hot honey ranch on the side for dipping.
