Do you love hot wings? Tacos? Well if you say yes to both of those questions I really think you need to go ahead and make these buffalo chicken tacos.
Plus, it’s not completely unhealthy for you, it’s topped with lettuce and tomato.
If you aren’t a bleu cheese fan and you prefer ranch… that’s cool- we can still be friends. ONLY if you don’t take my bleu cheese away from me. Or my buffalo chicken tacos. I might cry.
I really think this is one of my favorite tacos I’ve ever made. I actually wish I was eating one right now. Why pay all that money for something like this when it’s really not that much work to do at home, and way tastier!
If you prefer store bought bleu cheese dressing it will save you a few minutes in the kitchen, but that kind of takes the fun away from cooking! Go ahead and try to make the bleu cheese sauce, you’ll be happy you did 🙂
Let’s eat up!

- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small strips
