These Buffalo Chicken Tacos are a flavorful and spicy twist on traditional tacos, combining tender chicken tossed in zesty buffalo sauce with fresh lettuce and creamy ranch dressing all wrapped in soft tortillas. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal with a balance of heat and coolness.

Ingredients

Scale

Buffalo Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce

Assembly

  • 6 tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the cooked shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until the chicken is evenly coated with sauce, ensuring a spicy and tangy flavor.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap in foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to make them more pliable and soft.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: Lay out the warmed tortillas and place a generous portion of the buffalo chicken in the center of each. Top with shredded lettuce for a crisp texture, and drizzle ranch dressing over the top to balance the heat from the buffalo sauce.
  4. Serve: Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the flavors meld together beautifully.

Notes

  • You can substitute buffalo sauce with a milder hot sauce or BBQ sauce for different flavor profiles.
  • For extra crunch, add diced celery or carrots as toppings.
  • To make it gluten free, use corn tortillas that are certified gluten free.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute ranch dressing with a vegan or dairy-free alternative.
  • Leftover buffalo chicken can be refrigerated and used within 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
