Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes until well combined.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken mixture and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until no longer pink.
  3. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, ranch seasoning, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Stir in pickle brine.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
  5. Spread ranch sauce on each tortilla. Add a scoop of chicken, sprinkle shredded cheese, and top with dill pickles and cabbage.
  6. For cheese lace, sprinkle shredded cheese in the skillet and cook until melted and golden, about 2-3 minutes.
