Buffalo wing-inspired tacos with quick shortcuts, topped with crunchy slaw and creamy blue cheese, ready in under 20 minutes!
Ingredients:
  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce, such as Franks RedHot or Cholula
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small or 1/2 large plain rotisserie chicken (about 1 3/4 pounds), shredded (about 4 packed cups)
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 packed cups (10 ounces) coleslaw mix
  • 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
Instructions:
  • For the Buffalo chicken: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 4 to 6 (10-second) bursts. Stir in the hot sauce and garlic powder until well combined. Add the shredded chicken and mix until evenly coated. Alternatively, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, then combine with hot sauce and garlic powder before tossing with the chicken in a large bowl.
  • Prepare the coleslaw by combining Greek yogurt or sour cream, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well before adding the coleslaw mix and tossing until coated.
  • To warm the tortillas, place them stacked on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until warm. Then, wrap the stack in a clean kitchen towel or aluminum foil to keep them warm until serving.
  • Create your tacos by placing coleslaw on top of the warmed tortillas. Add buffalo chicken, then garnish with scallions and blue cheese. If you enjoyed the recipe, please show your love by leaving stars and a comment below!
