Ingredients

• For the Buffalo Chicken:
• - 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• - 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
• - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• - Salt and pepper, to taste
• For the Ranch Dressing:
• - 1 cup buttermilk
• - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• - 1/4 cup sour cream
• - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced
• - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
• - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• - Salt and pepper, to taste
• For the Tacos:
• - 12 small flour tortillas
• - 2 cups shredded lettuce
• - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• - 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• - 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• Note: If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute the buffalo wing sauce with a barbecue sauce of your choice.

Preparation Method

Start by preparing the buffalo chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in a slow cooker. Pour the buffalo wing sauce over the chicken, add the butter, and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.

While your chicken is simmering, prepare the ranch dressing. In a medium bowl, mix the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, parsley, and garlic powder. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper and place the dressing in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Once the chicken is tender, shred it using two forks and mix it with the sauce in the slow cooker. Keep it warm until you're ready to serve.

Now, it's time to assemble the tacos. Warm up the tortillas on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat. Place a generous scoop of the spicy buffalo chicken on each tortilla. Top with the shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and green onions. Drizzle with the refreshing ranch dressing and serve immediately.

Tips and Conclusion

For a fun twist, substitute the flour tortillas with crunchy taco shells or even lettuce wraps for a low-carb option. You can also add some guacamole or sour cream for additional creaminess. If you have leftover buffalo chicken, its great on salads, sandwiches, or as a pizza topping!
