- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (finely diced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2lbs ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 bag cool ranch Doritos
- prepared ranch dressing
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 Roma tomatoes (diced)

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until starting to brown (about 10 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for one more minute.
- Add the chicken, paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and salt. Turn the heat to high and use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir and break up the chicken into small chunks until the chicken is partially cooked (about 5 minutes). Stir in tomato sauce, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
- On individual plates pile some Doritos and top with some of the taco and a layer of shredded cheese. Microwave until the cheese has melted and top with ranch dressing, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. You can also place the Doritos onto a baking sheet and top them with the taco meat and cheese and then bake at 350 degrees F. until the cheese has melted.
