Doritos Smash Chicken Tacos
These Doritos smash chicken tacos are all about texture and flavor. The ground chicken gets pressed thin right onto the tortilla, seasoned, then coated in crushed nacho cheese Doritos and pan fried until crispy and golden. You get that crunchy outer layer with a juicy inside, then it’s finished with Colby Jack Shredded Cheese , fresh shredded lettuce, and a bright pico de gallo. The sweet chili sriracha mayo brings everything together with a little heat and a touch of sweetness, while the pico adds freshness and balance. Every bite hits… crunchy, cheesy, fresh, and just enough spice to keep it interesting. Simple to make, but loaded with flavor, these are the kind of tacos that disappear fast.
