Ingredients
Units
Scale
Ground Chicken
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
Buffalo Sauce
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
Taco Shells
- 8 Soft or Hard Taco Shells
Shredded Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
Shredded Lettuce
- 2 cups Shredded Lettuce
Diced Tomatoes
- 1 cup Diced Tomatoes
Ranch Dressing
- 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Chicken: In a skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and add the ground chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of Buffalo sauce, then cook until browned and fully cooked through.
- Smash It Down: Once the chicken is cooked, use a spatula to smash it down flat. This allows maximum surface area for flavor to develop and makes it easier to incorporate more Buffalo sauce.
- Prepare Taco Shells: Warm your taco shells in the oven or on a skillet for a few minutes to make them nice and pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Fill each taco shell with a generous amount of Buffalo chicken, then layer on your shredded cheese, lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
- Add Garnishes: Finish off your tacos with a drizzle of ranch dressing and any additional toppings you desire. This adds a creamy finish that perfectly balances the heat.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh produce enhances flavor and texture, opt for fresh over packaged.
- Control the Heat: Adjust Buffalo sauce according to your preference; you can always add more later!
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook chicken in batches if necessary for crispy texture.
- Let it Rest: Allow cooked chicken to rest before assembling to let juices redistribute.
- Experiment with Flavors: Mix up herbs and spices in your chicken for a unique twist.
