  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce

For Assembly

  • 6 small tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce until well coated.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until warm and pliable.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the chicken.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make this dish gluten-free.
  • Leftover cooked chicken from a previous meal works perfectly for this recipe.
  • Ranch dressing can be substituted with blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo wing flavor.
  • To add crunch, consider topping with diced celery or shredded carrots.
