Buffalo Chicken Tacos Stuffed With Hand Cut Fries

buffalo chicken tacos

I might have had chicken in every meal for the past 7 days straight. I can’t help myself. Chicken has been on sale at the local grocery store all month and my freezer is packed full of different cuts. Thighs with skin, boneless thighs without skin, breast, tenders, thin cutlets… the list goes on. I am proud to say that I haven’t been bored yet. Some how each dinner gets more creative than the last.

These buffalo chicken tacos are so cheesy and spicy. Layers of monterey jack, crispy fried chicken, garlicy buffalo sauce, hand cut fries, ranch, and lettuce all wrapped up in a flour tortilla. It is definitely one of my new favorite combos. I am pretty sure I am obsessed with fries stuffed into any taco or burrito.

Obviously you can customize these fries to your liking, but I like mine fully cooked and slightly soggy. I know that sounds crazy, but it just makes it so easy for them to soak up the hot sauce.

Tacos are so versatile. You can change up almost any ingredients and just wrap up in a tortilla. Buffalo chicken just happens to be one of my personal favorite fillings!
