    The magic of a really great taco is the way all of the elements blend together. Similar to a well crafted spell, you have to have each ingredient in ideal balance with the others. You have your big bold flavors that lead the way, but it's the way they're supported by the other ingredients that really makes them sing.

    Each thing on its own is fine, but when you bring them together, they transmute into something utterly transcendent. The kind of perfect bite that just makes you swoon. You're transported in complete delight because everything came together just perfectly.

    What makes Buffalo Chicken Tacos so awesome?

    These Buffalo Chicken Tacos have a perfect combination of flavors and textures. With crispy chicken drenched in Buffalo sauce taking the lead role in this ensemble, it's a bold flavor that is only enhanced by the supporting cast. There's funky blue cheese, smooth shredded cheddar, creamy ranch dressing, and crunchy green onions all wrapped in a tender flour tortilla. Every bite is awesome.

    You could serve these with a crunchy, cool salad or chips and fresh salsa. Whatever turns you on. Honestly, I think they're enough on their own and its unlikely that anything you could put on the table with them could compete. Prep all your toppings ahead of time, cook up your chicken, and get to building the perfect taco of your dreams.

    Magical Propeties of Cayenne Pepper

    Cayene pepper, the main ingredient of buffalo sauce, is obviously tied to the element of fire. It's a powerful road opener, acting like energetic dynamite to remove obstacles from your path. It can also speed up spells and break hexes. For a quick banishing spell, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne in the shoes of someone you want to leave your home and not return.

    Ingredients

    Here's everything you'll need to make this dish. The full details are in the recipe card below.

    • Chicken - boneless skinless chicken breasts is what I use
    • Garlic powder - or granules
    • Cayenne pepper
    • Salt & pepper
    • Corn starch - aka corn flour
    • Wheat flour - any whole wheat flour will work here since it's just a coating, I used rye flour because that's what I had on hand
    • Oil - whatever you like to use for sauteeing
    • Buffalo sauce
    • Tortillas - I like small flour tortillas for this
    • Toppings - I suggest blue cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, and extra buffalo sauce

    Tips for making Buffalo Chicken Tacos

    These are super simple. I like to get all the toppings ready before hand so once my chicken is finished cooking, I can get straight to eating. So just pull out the ranch dressing, crumble and grate your cheeses, and chop some green onions with some scissors and put those on the table for taco construction later.

    To make your chicken, you'll chop it into bite size pieces, then season it with garlic, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Next you'll dredge it in the corn starch and flour. I just put everything in a big mixing bowl and use my tongs to toss it all together until all the chicken pieces are coated in the dredge.

    Then heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sautee your chicken pieces until cooked through. When they're done, add the chicken to a bowl with your buffalo sauce, and toss to coat. Then warm up your tortillas in the microwave, and begin building your tacos. That's all there is to it.
