  • Cook:

  • Prepare the Tacos:
  • In a skillet, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  • Place the corn tortillas in the skillet one at a time.
  • Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese and a generous amount of the buffalo chicken mixture onto one half of each tortilla.
  • Fold the tortillas over and cook them on both sides until they’re golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Serve the tacos warm. You can top them with your favorite taco toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream.

This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

The buffalo chicken gets wonderfully tender and packed with flavor from the slow cooking, while the crispy, cheesy tortillas add a satisfying crunch.
