Make these Crispy Buffalo Chicken Tacos on a sheet pan for an easy weeknight dinner or perfect Game Day Tacos. The chicken is tossed in buffalo sauce and baked until slightly crispy, then topped with a cool ranch slaw.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
  3. Arrange the corn tortillas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with a little oil or water to help them crisp.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas start to look golden and crispy.
  6. While the tacos bake, prepare the ranch slaw. In a small bowl, whisk together the shredded cabbage, ranch dressing, and lime juice.
  7. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Top each taco with a spoonful of the ranch slaw and a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese.
  8. Serve these Spicy Taco Recipes immediately.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make this recipe even faster for a weeknight dinner.
  • For a smash taco texture, press down lightly on the filled tortillas with a spatula while they bake.
  • If you prefer softer tacos, use flour tortillas and skip the baking step; simply warm the filled tortillas in a dry skillet.
