Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 3 cups cooked chicken (chopped or shredded)
  • ½-¾ cup buffalo sauce (plus more to serve)
  • 6 8-inch flour tortillas (or 8 6-inch flour tortillas)
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade, approximately ½ cup)
  • 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • celery (thinly sliced, optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Warm medium skillet on stovetop over medium heat. When skillet is hot, add neutral oil and swirl pan to coat evenly. Add chopped chicken to skillet and let cook, undisturbed, 1 to 2 minutes or until chicken begins to brown.

  2. 2

    Stir or flip chicken, then cook, undisturbed, on other side another 1 to 2 minutes or until chicken begins to brown.

  3. 3

    Pour in desired amount of buffalo sauce and stir well to incorporate. Reduce heat to low and simmer 30 seconds or until sauce is bubbling and thickened. Remove skillet from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas in microwave, in separate skillet, or over open flame. See Notes for instructions.

  5. 5

    Layer chopped romaine and buffalo chicken in one warmed tortilla. Drizzle extra buffalo sauce (optional) and ranch dressing over chicken, then top with blue cheese crumbles. Set aside and repeat until all tacos are assembled. Garnish tacos with fresh herbs and serve immediately with celery, if desired.
