Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ½ cups buffalo wing sauce I use Sweet Baby Ray's
- 1 cup shredded celery
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 12 tortillas
- 6 ounce sour cream or plain greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- In a large slow cooker, add chicken breast. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (up to 8 hours if you don't open the lid).
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayo, pepper and salt, and blue cheese. Mix until combined and refrigerate one hour or more.
- After 6 hours, remove chicken from cooker and shred (I use my kitchen aid mixer with paddle attachment on low). Return to the slow cooker and add in buffalo wing sauce. Mix until combined. Heat another 15 minutes.
- To serve: add shredded buffalo chicken to tortilla. Top with shredded carrots and celery and spoonful of blue cheese dressing. ENJOY

Notes
- Any chicken that doesn’t get devoured in taco form right away can go in the fridge in a tupperware container. It’ll keep for 3 or 4 days this way.
- Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top. Leftovers also work well in burritos, sandwiches, and on salads for a hassle free lunch.
