20 Minute Buffalo Chicken Tacos with Blue Cheese Slaw
A little spicy, totally flavorful 20-minute buffalo chicken tacos are the answer to what to make for dinner. Bite-sized chunks of chicken breasts are spiced, then pan-fried until slightly charred, and then mixed with a simple buffalo sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 medium chicken breasts, about 1 lb total
- ½ tablespoons EACH: chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and sea salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- ⅓ cup Frank's RedHot Sauce
To serve
- 8 4-inch flour tortillas or lettuce wraps
- Blue cheese coleslaw or thinly sliced cabbage
- Diced avocados or guacamole
- Cilantro lime ranch
- Sour cream or grated cheddar
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and place them into a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle the chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt over the top and toss to coat.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until the pieces are browned on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Flip the pieces over and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add the remaining butter and Frank's to the pan and mix everything together.
- Serve on tortillas or in lettuce wraps with any or all of the optional toppings.
