Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken: Buffalo chicken component
- 3 tbsp buffalo wing sauce: For spicy flavor
- 1 tsp garlic powder: Seasoning
- ½ tsp onion powder: Seasoning
- ½ tsp smoked paprika: Seasoning
- ½ tsp Himalayan salt: Seasoning
- ¼ tsp black pepper: Seasoning
- Cooking spray or oil: For pan
- 8 small tortillas (corn or flour): Base for tacos
- 3 cups shredded cabbage: For the ranch slaw
- ½ cup grated carrots: For the ranch slaw
- ¼–⅓ cup ranch dressing (Greek yogurt preferred): For the ranch slaw
- 1 tbsp dill relish: For the ranch slaw
Instructions
- Step 1:
- In a large bowl, toss together the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, ranch dressing, and dill relish to make the slaw. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Step 2:
- In another bowl, combine ground chicken, buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Himalayan salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined& do not overwork.
- Step 3:
- Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with oil or cooking spray.
- Step 4:
- Divide the chicken mixture into 8 loose balls. Place a ball on each tortilla, then place on the hot pan, chicken side down. Smash the chicken flat with a spatula to cover most of the tortilla.
- Step 5:
- Cook for 3–4 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Step 6:
- Lightly oil the tortilla side, then flip each taco so the tortilla side is down. Cook 1–2 minutes more, to your preferred crispness.
- Step 7:
- Remove tacos from the pan. Top each with a generous spoonful of ranch slaw. For extra zing, drizzle with more ranch or buffalo sauce if desired.
- Step 8:
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
