Buffalo Chicken
- 3 tablespoons butter

Notes
Breaded chicken gives these tacos extra texture and a “street taco meets game day” feel.
Rotisserie chicken is a quick shortcut for busy nights.
This recipe also works well with homemade Instant Pot buffalo chicken for an easy prep option.
Adjust heat level by choosing mild or hot buffalo sauce.
You can also add fresh sliced avocado & fresh cilantro for even more flavor in every bite!
