Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, and whipped cream cheese. Mix until combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay 6 tortillas on the baking sheet. cover one half of the tortilla with 2 Tbsp (14g) of shredded cheese. You will need to do this twice (or on two pans) to make all of the baked tacos. Then, place roughly 2-3 Tbsp (50g) of chicken mixture on top of the cheese side.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the tacos from the oven and fold each in half; press down lightly with a fork to ensure the tacos stay folded. Place back in the oven and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the baked tacos from the oven and repeat steps if making in the same pan. Allow the tacos to cool slightly, add toppings and enjoy!
