Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling:
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/4 cup Frank’s buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • Avocado oil (for greasing pan and brushing on tortillas)
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • Jalapeño ranch
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Guacamole
  • Pickled red onions
  • Extra buffalo sauce (for drizzling)

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Steps:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, Frank’s buffalo sauce, Greek yogurt, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated in the sauce. Set aside.
  2. Place your non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with avocado oil.
  3. Once the skillet is hot, take a corn tortilla and brush one side with avocado oil. Place it in the skillet, oiled side down, and cook until it starts to turn golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes. Flip the tortilla and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Allow the cheese to melt before removing the tortilla from the skillet. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken filling onto each tortilla, adding as much or as little as you like. Top with shredded lettuce, guacamole, jalapeño ranch, and pickled red onions. Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce if you’re feeling adventurous!
  5. Place your assembled tacos on a serving platter and get ready to dig in.

Notes

  • Prepare the buffalo chicken filling in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your heat tolerance.
  • Experiment with different toppings for a unique taco experience!
