Servings: 8 tacos
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 teaspoons Spice That Jalapeño All-Purpose Seasoning
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 8 street taco-sized flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil like avocado oil
- ½ cup buffalo sauce your favorite bottled brand
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 small tomato diced
- ranch dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to medium heat, about 400-425°F. Add about ½ to 1 tablespoon oil and spread it around with your spatula.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded mozzarella, Spice That Jalapeño seasoning, beaten egg, and mayonnaise. Mix until well incorporated; do not overwork.
- Portion out about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto each flour tortilla. Press the chicken mixture out in a thin, even layer, spreading almost to the edge.
- Place tortillas meat-side down on the heated griddle, and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is almost to 165℉ internal temperature.
- Flip to the tortilla side. Brush the cooked chicken with about ½ to 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce, and continue cooking until the chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and the tortilla is golden brown.
- Remove from the griddle and top each taco with crumbled blue cheese, shredded lettuce, and diced tomato. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if you wish.
- Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
