I was looking at some old blog posts to see what I hadn't made in awhile. I was going to recreate them and make them look better as my photography skills have vastly improved. I stumbled across this great one for buffalo chicken with a lovely relish I made while living in the original My Shitty Kitchen. I was intending to make it, and then I got a hankering for tacos. I had an idea to make the chicken from that recipe, but just made into tacos. Good idea, right?
You betcha it was a good idea. Even made better with ranch flavored sour cream. And avocado. Holy cow. My one regret was using corn tortillas, they were not fresh from the market so they fell apart. I strongly suggest you use super fresh corn ones or flour. But y'all, these were so good! I don't know if I like these or the last time I made buffalo tacos better! Make these and your tastebuds will sing! Full recipe to follow the montage.

Buffalo Chicken Tacos
1 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup buffalo sauce
2 tbsp oil
1 small container of sour cream
1/2 packet of ranch dressing mix
tortillas (I used corn)
For topping:
cheese of your choice
chopped green onions
chopped avocado
Place flour in a bowl. Place buffalo sauce in another bowl. Place chicken between tow pieces of plastic wrap and pound to even thickness. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Season the flour with salt and pepper as well. Dredge the chicken in the flour and then in the buffalo sauce. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet on medium high. When oil shimmers, add chicken and cook for 5-7 on each side until cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, mix the sour cream with the ranch mix to combine well. When chicken is done, chop in pieces and add more buffalo sauce if you are feeling frisky. Distribute chicken and sour cream evenly between tortillas and add your toppings.
Happy Cooking!
