# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly to coat and let marinate for 10–15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh dill, chives, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to preference and refrigerate until ready to serve.
03 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 60–70 g portions of marinated chicken in the skillet and use a spatula or burger press to smash into thin patties. Sear for 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 directly onto the skillet. Place a tortilla on top and cook for 1–2 minutes until cheese is golden and crisp. Flip carefully and warm tortilla for 30 seconds. Remove and set aside cheese-side up. Repeat for all tortillas.
05 - Spread a generous spoonful of ranch sauce over the 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.
