Steps for Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned ground chicken and cook for about 15 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
  2. While the chicken is cooking, in a blender, combine cottage cheese with ranch seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Using a nonstick skillet, sprinkle small mounds of shredded cheese over medium heat. Cook until melted and edges brown slightly.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20-30 seconds on each side, or microwave for a quick 20 seconds.
  5. To assemble, lay a warm tortilla on a plate, spoon a generous amount of seasoned chicken in the center, top with cheese laces, cabbage, and dill pickles, and drizzle with ranch sauce.
