Mini Buffalo Chicken Tacos
A combination of two classic foods… buffalo chicken wings and mini tacos. Complete with crunchy carrot and celery slaw and creamy blue cheese dressing!
You guys, it’s almost football season!! Woohoo! I don’t know what I like more, the game, or the snacks that we eat as we watch the game 😉 Sometimes making the game day food can be a bit tedious and too time consuming, but not these buffalo chicken tacos!

Which do you like more, tacos or chicken wings? Man, that’s a tough decision isn’t it? Well now you don’t have to chose. That’s right… I combined the two in some ahhh-mazing buffalo chicken tacos! And they’re mini, so they’re the perfect little 2-3 bite snack!
This recipe actually gets even better though, because it will take you 15 minutes to cook these bad boys! Just 15 minutes… and it includes making a blue cheese dressing from scratch 😉
To start, get your oven preheating and line a baking sheet with foil.
While it’s heating up, go ahead and make your blue cheese dressing.
Just whisk all your ingredients together and set it aside for later 🙂
Arrange your boneless chicken bites in a single layer on your baking sheet and bake as directed on the product box. Place the included sauce packet in a bowl of hot water to thaw.
While the chicken is baking, get your ingredients together for your celery/carrot slaw.
I used a bag of pre-shredded cole slaw and pre-shredded carrots, then just thinly sliced up some celery. Make it easy on yourself, take a little help from the grocery store 🙂
The last thing to do is to make your mini soft taco shells. For that, you’ll want to use the large burrito sized flour tortillas. I was going to use my biscuit cutter to make small rounds, but my cutter wasn’t large enough, so I grabbed a small little mixing bowl and used it to cut 2 rounds out of each tortilla.
Now the chicken should be finished cooking, so place the chicken bites in a mixing bowl and toss with the buffalo sauce.
Now it’s time to make the tacos!
Start off with some slaw in the center of the tortilla, top with a couple buffalo chicken bites, top with some more slaw, and then drizzle with plenty of creamy blue cheese dressing.
Ta-da! The perfect party food 😀
I hope you guys give this one a try… I know you’ll LOVE it!!
