Buffalo Chicken Tacos

I'm not usually the gal who goes for spicy things...I'm a little more on the mild side. (Not in my personality--just my food! I'm just writing what some of you were already thinking!) Anyways, I stumbled upon this recipe on Pinterest--of course---and thought it was worthy of a try. Kyle could eat tacos every night of the week, so I am always looking for a taco recipe that shakes things up a bit. This one definitely did the trick. The buffalo sauce combined with the ranch dressing and avocado was just superb! If your hubby is a a big fan of buffalo wings, I certainly recommend giving this one a try! 

Ingredients:
1 pound chicken breasts, skinless, boneless, cut into 1 inch pieces
⅓ cup flour
3 tablespoon cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s Buffalo Wing) , plus extra for garnishment
1 Tablespoon olive oil
10 6-inch yellow corn tortillas
Toppings:
Shredded butter Lettuce
Diced onions mixed with cilantro
Avocado slices
Ranch dressing
Green onions, sliced thinly

Preparation:
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, cayenne, and garlic powder. Season the chicken pieces with pepper, then dredge in the flour mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the Dutch oven and once it gets hot, add chicken and cook on both sides – about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Once the chicken is done, set it aside in a bowl and toss with ⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce.

Assemble 10 tacos, dividing the toppings evenly among each taco.
