i was never a fan of spicy food. never. i would order my spicy peanut noodlebox extra mild (which doesn’t even exist). i remember going to some thai restaurant and crying because it was soooo spicy. but i married a man who was also married to hot sauce. james loooooves spicy food. absolutely loves it. so with most meals i make, he hauls out the sriracha or franks. slowly but surely i would try a bit on my plate and soon enough, i kinda started loving the spice. not too extreme though, but for your information, i now order my spicy peanut noodlebox, mild-medium. :)

so on my day off i was trying to decide what to make for dinner…i wanted to make something that i had never made before because i had some extra time to prep. in my super long search i came across a recipe for super easy buffalo chicken tacos. growing up i never had buffalo sauce, so when i discovered it a few months ago…i was in looooove.

my favourite hot sauce!

the tacos were incredibly simple and took me a whole 30 minutes to prep & cook. i loved them and they weren’t too spicy (drizzle some buffalo sauce on them once made to up the spiciness!)

Directions:

serves 2

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces

2 tablespoons corn starch

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

pinch of cayenne pepper

1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce (I used Frank’s Buffalo Wing)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4-6 4-inch tortillas

salt and pepper

for toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes, avocado, shredded lettuce or cabbage, green onions, cilantro, ranch dressing and extra buffalo wing sauce for drizzling.

1. prep your toppings first. the chicken cooks quite quickly, and you’ll be drooling by the time you toss it in the sauce, so don’t waste time prepping at the end.

i used shredded lettuce, shredded marble cheese, tomatoes, green onions, ranch, & sour cream.

you can spread them out all pretty like this…
