01

Season and Fill Tacos

Start by putting the chicken in a bowl and sprinkle it with chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Give everything a good mix to make sure the chicken is nicely coated with the spices. Warm up your taco shells while you get the chicken ready. Next, spoon the seasoned chicken into each shell. Drizzle some Buffalo wing sauce over the top, then finish things off with a sprinkle of blue cheese. Serve right away and enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use cooked, shredded chicken to save time and ensure even flavor distribution.
- Toast the tortillas lightly before assembling to add a bit of crunch and prevent sogginess.
- Adjust the buffalo sauce amount to match your preferred spice level.

Serving ideas

Serve with crisp celery sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing to complement the heat. A fresh slaw or avocado slices can add extra texture and freshness to each bite.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftover chicken and toppings separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep tortillas wrapped in foil or plastic to maintain softness. Reheat the chicken gently to avoid drying it out before assembling.
