JINGER Duggar has showed off her take on chicken tacos in a new cooking video that has not left fans hungry for more.
The latest recipe in the ex-TV star’s new series was mocked as “bland,” and others even begged her to stop sharing recipes.
Jinger, 28, wore her brunette hair down while defying family dress code in a sleek black short-sleeve romper and glam makeup in her shiny kitchen.
“Today we are taking a trip to Mexico,” the Counting On alum began with a smile before she added, “and we’re making some tacos so let’s get started.”
Unfortunately, some fans of hers cruelly wanted a return flight.
The mom-of-two with husband Jeremy Vuolo, 34, cut up some red and yellow peppers and explained the lovebirds once lived in Texas, near Mexico, and would sometimes visit – thus the dish.
She seasoned the chicken with only steak seasoning but said “just salt” is “also very good.”
Jinger plated three tacos total – she promised the peppers add “so much flavor.”
She finished it off with pico-de-Gallo, cilantro spice, and a side of lime but indeed no other sauce – saying the lime was what you could “squeeze on top.”
“And there you have it, tacos” – Jinger concluded – the video was a nearly single 12-minute take.

The recipe did not list any sauces, sour creams or spices except for salt – as well as “1/4 cup mozzarella cheese” as the cheese, usually used for Italian dishes.
Under her video posted to Youtube, but to Instagram as well, fans expressed that the recipe was under-spiced and underwhelming – and that cooking may not be her forte.
‘IS THIS FOR REAL’
“You don’t cook be for real” roasted one Instagram follower of many.
“Well, no. A transplant from Arkansas with no culinary training making bland tacos. So many real cooking shows with real recipes. Stick to what made you famous,” grilled another.
“Cumin, chili powder, chipotle powder, etc, would all make this more flavorful,” wrote a third. “What makes so many reality ‘stars’ think they can teach us to cook?”
A fourth defended: “Just a reminder for those commenting negatively or ignorantly. You don’t actually know them the way you think you do….. way to go Jinger!”
Yet one more wrote: “Great idea but they looked a little dry,” adding a good recipe tweak might be a hair tie.
TOUCH-AND-GO
The former TLC star and her gal pal, Anne, recently demonstrated how to make coffee ice cream, and Shoofly pie, which is a Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine – but the issue was she touched her untied and loose hair once more before running her fingers through the ingredients.
One critic wrote: “Who wants her long hair in their Shoefly pie?”
In an earlier cooking video Jinger made a cheesy tater tot casserole.
At one point she appeared to pull something off of the dish before putting it in the oven.
COUNTING ON & MOVING ON
Jinger shares her adorable daughters Felicity, four, and Evangeline Jo, one, with Jeremy – in 2021 she said her kids would be staying off her social media.
The TV personality – even more formerly of 19 Kids and Counting – has often deviated from her parents Jim Bob, 55, and Michelle, 54. and their strict conservative rules.
The Duggar family has observed a Christian dress code that usually only permits women to dress modestly and wear skirts or dresses.
Jinger has chosen to live her life her way and regularly wears tight jeans and dresses.
They all live in a stunning $1M home in Los Angeles California – far from her folks still in Arkansas.
The Duggar family has been dealing with life-changing drama after her brother Josh Duggar was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment on child pornography charges.
Jinger was one of the only family members who didn’t go to Josh’s trial.
She took her deposition on September 20, 2021, where she revealed her income includes the show, brand partnerships and one of her books, The Hope We Hold.
Jinger is one of several of Jim Bob’s kids not on the best of terms with their father as they continue to break away from their strict fundamentalist upbringing.
They launched their YouTube blog – as their show was canceled as a result of the charges – in August.
