1 hour 10 minutes


Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless

½ cup Buffalo sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

½ cup blue cheese crumbles

½ cup ranch dressing


Directions

1.

Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil to it. Once the oil is hot, add chicken breasts.

2.

Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

3.

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

4.

In the same pan, reduce the heat to low and add the Buffalo sauce, stirring to warm it through.

5.

Return the chicken to the pan, tossing to coat the strips evenly in the sauce.

6.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.

7.

Assemble the tacos by placing a few strips of chicken on each tortilla, then top with lettuce, blue cheese.

8.

Drizzle with ranch dressing and serve immediately with extra Buffalo sauce on the side if desired.
