Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups Shredded Seasoned Chicken*
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups Monterey Jack Cheese or Mexican Cheese Blend (freshly grated)
  • 3-4 flour tortillas
  • butter
Optional Garnishes:
  • Mexican crema
  • fresh cilantro
  • green onions, sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by shredding the chicken and placing it in a bowl. I love to use rotisserie chicken to cut down on a step. Add in buffalo sauce and ranch dressing and stir it together until the chicken is coated.
  2. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture on half of a flour tortilla and top it with a generous amount of cheese. Fold in half.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a slab of butter and let it start to melt and place the folded tortilla in the skillet. Heat for 3-5 minutes per side or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is a light golden brown color. Make sure the pan isn't too hot or the tortilla will become too brown before the cheese melts. If so, reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Serve with sour cream or Mexican crema, fresh cilantro, and green onions, if so desired.

Notes

  • I suggest a rotisserie chicken. You may use poached, shredded chicken as well.
