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.
Buffalo=Awesome.

Gorgeous photos! You've been busy!
I'm gonna trick my boyfriend with these… he always claims he "hates" buffalo sauce… but I know he'll love it after trying this!

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!
Our grocery store does a little magazine that has recipes in it & I find great ones in there too.
Sounds like a great way to change things up for taco night. Good looking tacos!
I never thought about doing that before. Sounds delish.
I am so making these!! I love buffalo sauce!!! I can't wait to try them!
yes everyone loves taco night when it's done this way.
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!
This is right up our alley! Bookmarking it right away.
I LOVE buffalo sauce and I love taco night. I know I would like these. We seriously have tacos once a week.
