  Everyone loves taco night, don’t they? I could seriously eat tacos once a week and not get sick of them. In fact, I’ve been craving them like crazy lately, and have probably eaten them 3 times in the past 2 weeks!!

  But what do you do if your family is getting tired of your normal taco cravings? Change it up a bit!! These Buffalo-Style Tacos are a great way to get your taco fix but to have something a little different at the same time. This recipe actually came from a free brochure I picked up at the grocery store several years ago. And you do know what? Sometimes great recipes come from unexpected places!!

  Buffalo-Style Beef Tacos
  from 2007 National Beef Cook-Off

  1 pound ground beef
  1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
  8 taco shells, or tortillas for soft tacos
  1 cup thinly sliced lettuce
  1/4 cup prepared blue cheese dressing
  1/2 cup shredded carrot
  1/3 cup chopped celery
  2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking up into small crumbles. Pour off drippings, if necessary. Stir in pepper sauce. Cook and stir 1 minute or until heated through.

  Meanwhile, heat taco shells according to package directions.

  Evenly spoon beef mixture into taco shells. Add lettuce; drizzle with dressing. Top evenly with carrot, celery and cilantro.

   I could live off of buffalo sauce. I love the stuff. It's like my go to condiment. I put in on pizzas, sandwiches, quesadillas- BUT never on a taco – genius!! I'm totally gonna try that next time I make tacos.

   My 7-year-old loves tacos and mentioned that we haven't had them in awhile – might be time to make a batch – yours look delicious!

    I would really enjoy this as I'm a buffalo wings fan. Actually, I first thought this was tacos made with buffalo meat, which ironically I just made last week. Now I want to make buffalo-Buffalo tacos!
