• Saturdays with Rachael Ray – Buffalo Chicken Tacos

  Filed under Main Dishes - Chicken

  I have to say – I’m feeling so overwhelmed with technology lately.  I don’t know how some of you do it.  Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, Pinterest – I wish I had an extra 10 hours every day just to spend on these things.  (Let me know if you are a member of any of these – I’d love to follow you!!)  There are so many amazing things out there on the internet.  I’ve just become a member of Pinterest, and I’ve been really wanting to take some time to start adding to my boards.  I’ve mostly just spent time looking at other people’s boards – and I’ve gotten caught up in just that!!  Of course, the pictures I like to look at the most are the food ones.  And I have been led to many new recipes that I want to try.  And let’s face it – it’s not like I need to add more to my “to make” list!!  I’ve been having to remind myself to go back to my cookbook and magazines to make sure I’m not neglecting them!

  Today’s Rachael Ray recipe is such a simple one.  We love taco night, and I love buffalo anything.  Combine those 2, and less than half an hour later, you have dinner.  These tacos taste fresh and are something a little different to spice up your normal taco night!

  

  
  
  Buffalo Chicken Tacos
  adapted from Every Day with Rachael Ray February 2011

  serves 4

  total time:  25 minutes

  Eight 6-inch soft flour tortillas
  1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  two skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  salt and pepper
  2 tablespoons buffalo sauce
  2 ounces blue cheese
  3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  4 cups shredded green-leaf lettuce
  6 radishes, shredded
  2 carrots, shredded

  Preheat the oven to 200°. Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven.

  Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in the pan. Cook until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Turn off the heat and stir in the buffalo sauce.

  Meanwhile, using a food processor, blend the blue cheese, mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, radishes and carrots.

  Lay the tortillas on a work surface in a single layer. Divide chicken among the tortillas. Top with the lettuce mixture and then with the blue cheese mixture. Serve.

   Love Buffalo anything, love tacos, and these look oh so easy! We will have to try them.

   Yes, I get overwhelmed too, it seems like blogging takes most of the time and I have no time to even check my emails and keep it de-junked! I am on Facebook but don't post too often, once in a while to let my friends know about something I possted on my blog. Just saw Pinteresst the other day. Oh, I can't keep up.

   Tacos are always a favorite around here. Will defiantly have to try this version!

   As for all the technology I feel the same way. I am pretty good about keeping up with my blog and reading my favorites and try to post regularly on Facebook as well. I recently signed up for Twitter but am not doing so well with it!

    I agree, it's so hard to keep up with it all. These tacos are a nice way to change it up.
