I remember complaining about helping out in the kitchen when I was younger. I hated cooking....a few years ago I started to experiment in the kitchen. I found that it was really fun to cook and bake and it also made Chad a happy boy :) Now that I am a wife....I feel like I need to always create these amazing and spectacular dishes. Unfortunately, when you are on a budget it's hard to do. So you get to be really creative!
The Husband and I decided to create a fun themed night once a week. On Thursday nights we will create some form of tacos using ingredients in the pantry and the fridge. Tonight was really fun creating this delicious dish!
Buffalo Chicken Tacos
Majority of the time I am finding recipes on the internet (mainly pinterest) but this baby is my own :) I was pretty amazed at the turn out.
Ingredients (for 4 tacos)
1 lg chicken breast cut in small cubes
salt & pepper
garlic powder
2 tsp hidden valley ranch seasoning
squirt of lime juice
evoo (enough to coat bottom of skillet with a thin layer)
2 tbs buffalo wing sauce
4 small tortillas
Topping Options: lettuce, tomato, red onion, avocado, cheese, etc
For dressings we used ranch on one and then this sweet and light homemade dressing. We actually liked it better than the ranch. Here is the recipe below
Dressing Recipe:
1/4 c vegetable oil
1/4 c sugar
1/8 c apple cider vinegar
1 tsp soy
1/4 tsp salt and pepper
**just mix all ingredients together
Directions
Heat oil and skillet on med-high heat
Cut chicken breast into small cube pieces. This just depends on the size chunks you would like in your taco. Season with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and spring with garlic powder. Toss the chicken in the ranch seasoning and squirt with the lime juice.
Once the oil is heated place the chunks in the hot skillet. Cook chicken until golden brown and thoroughly done. Toss in the buffalo sauce.
**Taste a sample- add whatever is missing :)
After chicken is done heat the tortillas. There are so many ways in doing this but my favorite recently has been to put them on a oven-safe cooling rack under broil for like 2-3 minutes until they are a little crispy. It gives the taco a great texture!
Layer your tacos with chicken and whatever toppings desired!
AND ENJOY!
