These Buffalo Chicken Tacos bring together the spicy, tangy flavor of classic buffalo chicken with the convenience and comfort of soft flour tortillas. Topped with creamy ranch dressing and melty cheddar cheese, these tacos are a perfect quick meal for game day or any casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Buffalo Chicken Tacos

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 ½ cups buffalo sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Chopped green onions (to garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat and toss chicken: Heat the shredded cooked chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Once warm, toss the chicken with the buffalo sauce until it is evenly coated and heated through.
  2. Assemble the tacos: Place a flour tortilla flat on a plate. Spread 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing evenly over one side of the tortilla. Then, cover half of the tortilla with a generous portion of the buffalo chicken and shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
  3. Cook the tacos: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one folded tortilla into the skillet and cook until the tortilla is lightly golden brown and the cheese inside has melted, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  4. Serve: Remove the cooked tacos from the skillet and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save time in shredding cooked chicken.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat tortillas or reducing the cheese quantity.
  • Ranch dressing can be substituted with blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo flavor twist.
  • Make sure to cook the tacos over medium heat to prevent burning while allowing the cheese to melt properly.
