We love buffalo anything. (Hello, Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches and Buffalo Chicken Pizza!)
And we love taco night.
Combine those 2, and less than half an hour later, you have these Buffalo Chicken Tacos on the table for dinner. These tacos taste fresh and are something a little different to spice up your normal taco night!
Ingredients
- Butter:
- Chicken: I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. But chicken thighs would work, as well.
- Salt and Pepper: I can never emphasize how important seasoning your food is! Make sure and give the chicken a quick seasoning with salt and pepper before cooking.
- Buffalo Sauce: There are several different buffalo sauces on the market – just use one you love. I usually grab Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce.
- Tortillas: We use flour tortillas, but you can definitely use corn tortillas if that is what you prefer!
- Toppings: Feel free to make this your own, but we used lettuce, carrots, and radishes. And then we top the whole thing off with blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles.
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Tacos
Step 1: Make the chicken but cutting it into bite-sized pieces, then seasoning with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a skillet, then add the chicken and cook, stirring as needed, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Step 2: Add the buffalo sauce and cook for a minute or two, stirring to make sure the chicken is coated.
Step 3: If desired, heat the tortillas over a gas flame. You can also heat them in a dry skillet until heated and pliable.
Step 4: Assemble the tacos by adding some of the buffalo chicken to each tortilla, along with lettuce, carrots, and radishes. Drizzle the blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles over the top.
Tips and Tricks
- If you have some cooked, shredded or cubed chicken on hand, you can use that and this recipe is even faster! Just heat it up and add the buffalo sauce.
- If you have a gas stove, you can use tongs to hold the tortillas over the flame to char the tortillas.
- While these are super fast and easy to make, you can make it even easier by making the chicken ahead of time and prepping all of the toppings, then reheat the chicken before serving.

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!
Joanne says
Buffalo sauce is a favorite around here as well and buffalo chicken tacos sound like such a fun lunch or dinner!

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.
