Ingredients
- ✓720 ml cooked shredded chicken breast
- ✓79.2 ml cayenne pepper hot sauce
- ✓22.5 ml melted butter or avocado oil
- ✓0.5 tsp garlic powder
- ✓8 small corn or flour tortillas
- ✓480 ml shredded cabbage mix
- ✓45 ml plain Greek yogurt
- ✓15 ml fresh lime juice
- ✓60 ml crumbled blue cheese or cotija
- ✓30 ml chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder in a medium mixing bowl until emulsified.
💡
Tip:Adjust butter slightly higher for a milder kick or leave it out for sharper heat.
2
Add the warm shredded chicken breast to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated in buffalo sauce.
💡
Tip:If using chilled leftover chicken, warm it briefly in a skillet or microwave before tossing.
3
In a separate bowl, toss shredded cabbage with Greek yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to create a crunchy, creamy slaw.
💡
Tip:Greek yogurt keeps the slaw light, refreshing, and loaded with extra protein.
4
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly charred.
💡
Tip:Keeping tortillas covered in a clean kitchen towel keeps them soft and warm for filling.
5
Divide the warm buffalo chicken evenly among tortillas, top with creamy slaw, and finish with crumbled cheese and chopped cilantro.
💡
Tip:Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side.
📝 Chef's Notes
Store leftover chicken and slaw in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken gently before assembling fresh tacos.
