Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken Store-bought rotisserie chicken can be used for added convenience.
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce Adjust to taste for milder or hotter tacos; any favorite hot sauce can work.
For the Taco Shells
  • 8 pieces flour tortillas Can substitute corn tortillas or whole wheat varieties based on preference.
For the Creamy Drizzle
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing Substitutions might include blue cheese dressing for a traditional buffalo flavor.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Pepper jack or Monterey jack can be used for more spice.
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions For garnish, adding color and a mild onion flavor.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Microwave
  • griddle

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add your shredded cooked chicken and pour in the buffalo sauce. Stir the mixture occasionally for about 5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and well coated.
  2. While the chicken is heating, take your flour tortillas and warm them up. You can use a microwave for about 15-20 seconds or place them on a griddle over low heat for a minute per side.
  3. Lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate and drizzle ranch dressing down the center. Add a scoop of the buffalo chicken filling, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, enclosing the filling. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and place the folded taco in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  5. Once the tacos are golden and crispy on both sides, remove them from the skillet and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
