Fiery, juicy smash-style ground chicken patties glazed in buffalo sauce, tucked into warm tortillas with melted cheddar, crisp lettuce, and a cooling ranch drizzle for irresistible taco night flavor.

Ingredients

  • Ground Chicken: 1 pound
  • Buffalo Sauce: 1/2 cup
  • Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Flour Tortillas: 8 small, 6 inch
  • Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
  • Lettuce: 1 cup, shredded
  • Ranch Dressing: 1/2 cup
  • Green Onions: 2 tablespoons, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium high heat until hot, and warm tortillas in a separate dry pan or over a low flame.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl mix ground chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, then divide into 8 equal balls.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly oil the hot skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Place chicken balls on the skillet and press firmly with a spatula to smash thin, cook 2 to 3 minutes, brush with buffalo sauce, flip, brush again, and top with cheddar.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts and patties reach 165°F.
  6. Finishing Touches: Place each patty onto a warmed tortilla, add shredded lettuce, drizzle with ranch, and sprinkle green onions.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Fold and serve hot with extra buffalo sauce or ranch on the side.

Notes

  • Hot Skillet: A well heated pan gives crisp edges for classic smash texture.
  • Do Not Overcrowd: Cook patties in batches for better browning.
  • Warm Tortillas: Heating keeps tortillas pliable and prevents tearing.
  • Adjust Heat: Blend buffalo sauce with ranch for a milder option.
