Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 ½ cups buffalo sauce
Tacos
- 8 flour tortillas
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the chicken: Heat the shredded chicken in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the buffalo sauce and toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and fully coated.
- Assemble the tacos: Lay out each flour tortilla and spread 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing on half of the tortilla. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the ranch, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
- Cook the tacos: Place the folded tacos back into the skillet over medium heat. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheddar cheese has melted inside.
- Garnish and serve: Remove tacos from the skillet and serve hot. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, flavorful finish.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken for best results, such as rotisserie or leftover chicken breast.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity for desired spice level.
- Flour tortillas work best for folding and crisping, but corn tortillas can be used for a gluten-free alternative.
- Serve with extra ranch dressing or celery sticks to complement the spicy buffalo flavor.
