Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together the ground chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, shredded mozzarella cheese, finely chopped green onions, salt and pepper.
- Press 2-3 tbsp of the chicken mixture onto a tortilla, making sure it’s as thin as possible so it cooks quickly. (Use your judgement on whether you use 2-3 tbsp of chicken on the tacos - it will depend on the size of the small soft tacos you use).
- Once hot, add 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil to a cast iron or regular skillet and use a paper towel to swoosh it around the pan. Heat over medium heat. Once hot, place the tortilla chicken side down. Flatten / smash it into the pan using a flat surface (ie. bottom of a small pot or frying pan, metal flipper).
- Cook until well browned and cook through, about 4-6 minutes and then flip, cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165F).
- Remove from the pan and cook the remaining tortillas. **Only add more oil if the chicken starts to stick to the pan**
- Serve topped with shredded iceberg lettuce, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese and buffalo sauce.
Notes
- Since these tacos are cooked one at a time, you could use a larger frying pan or flat-top to cook more at a time.
- If blue cheese isn't your favourite, use crumbled feta cheese or shredded monterey jack cheese instead.
