Step-by-Step Instructions for Buffalo Chicken Tacos
  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce. Stir for about 5 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly heated.
  2. While the chicken is warming, lay out the flour tortillas on a large plate and spread ranch dressing evenly over each tortilla.
  3. Place a generous portion of the heated buffalo chicken on one half of each tortilla, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold to create a taco.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the folded tacos, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the cooked tacos to a platter and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
