Instructions

Season ground chicken with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden brown (8-10 minutes), forming a crispy crust.
Warm tortillas in the skillet for 30 seconds per side.
Prepare slaw: mix cabbage, chopped dill pickles, and pickle brine in a bowl.
Make drizzle: blend cottage cheese, ranch seasoning, and lemon juice until smooth.
Assemble tacos: layer chicken, slaw, melted cheese, and a dollop of drizzle in each tortilla.
Garnish with extra dill pickles or fresh dill (optional).

Notes

Use leftover chicken for sandwiches or salads. For deeper flavor, add a dash of apple cider vinegar to the drizzle.
Freeze uncooked chicken patties for quick future use.
Tacos stay fresh for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
