Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup (120ml) buffalo sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or cheese of choice
• 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
   • In a bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
   • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the buffalo sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until the chicken is fully coated and saucy.

3. Assemble the Tacos:

   • Warm the tortillas either in a microwave or on a skillet.
   • Divide the buffalo chicken among the tortillas.
   • Top each with shredded lettuce, crumbled blue cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

4. Serve:

   • Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the tacos for an extra burst of flavor.

Final Tips

• Adjust the Spice Level: If you’re sensitive to heat, you can mix the buffalo sauce with a little honey or ranch dressing to tone down the spiciness.
• Cheese Swaps: Feel free to swap the blue cheese for a milder cheese such as Monterey Jack or Cheddar if you’re not a fan of blue cheese.
• Tortilla Options: For a gluten-free option, opt for corn tortillas. Soft flour tortillas work just as well if you’re not avoiding gluten.

Enjoy these Spicy Buffalo Chicken Tacos with a cold beverage of your choice and let the flavors transport you to a Tex-Mex paradise!
