Buffalo Chicken Tacos
picy Buffalo chicken paired with crisp toppings and a cooling drizzle of ranch, wrapped in a warm taco shell. The perfect blend of bold flavors for taco night!
Ingredients
- 1 Lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ⅓ cup Buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 8 small tortillas (flour or corn)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
- Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for drizzling
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
- Add Buffalo Sauce: Pour the Buffalo sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is well-coated and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave, then fill each with Buffalo chicken, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and blue cheese (if using).
- Top and Serve: Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing, sprinkle with cilantro, and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the Buffalo sauce to your spice preference. Start with a small amount and add more if you like extra heat.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat dressing and skip the blue cheese.
