Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

½ cup buffalo sauce (mild or hot, based on preference)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

8 small flour or corn tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

½ cup crumbled blue cheese (or feta for a twist)

½ cup ranch dressing or Greek yogurt

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine and heat through, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust the buffalo sauce to your taste for a stronger or milder flavor.

    Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas on low for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are flexible and warm.

      Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous portion of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and crumbled blue cheese.

        Add the Dressing: Drizzle ranch dressing or Greek yogurt on top of each taco for extra creaminess.

          Garnish and Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
