Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 ½ cups buffalo sauce
Tacos
- 8 flour tortillas
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Garnish
- Chopped green onions (to garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the chicken: Place the shredded cooked chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the buffalo sauce and toss well to coat all the chicken evenly. Heat until warm throughout.
- Assemble the tacos: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a plate. Spread about 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing evenly over half of the tortilla. Then layer on the buffalo chicken mixture followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
- Cook the tacos: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one assembled tortilla in the skillet. Cook until the tortilla is lightly golden brown and the cheese inside has melted, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Serve: Remove the cooked tacos from the skillet, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken like rotisserie or leftover chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce for preferred spice level.
- Feel free to substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a different texture.
- Adding a dollop of extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on top enhances creaminess.
- For crispier tacos, press sandwiches gently with a spatula while cooking.
