Preparation
Step 1
1. Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. 2. In a bowl, toss the chicken, seasoned salt, and chili powder together. Add 1/3 cup buffalo sauce. Grill the chicken until lightly charred, 5-8 minutes per side, depending on the size of your chicken. 3. Shred the meat and toss with 1/3 cup buffalo sauce. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving. Stuff a handful of cheese and chicken into each taco shell. Place the shells upright on the grill so nothing falls out. Cover and grill over low heat for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melty. 4. Meanwhile, make the Jalapeño Ranch. Combine all ingredients in a jar, mixing until creamy. Then, season with salt.5. Toss the lettuce with ranch, cilantro, scallions, and lime juice. Top each taco with greens, avocado, and extra sauce. Yum!
