Ingredients

Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken

1.25 lb Chicken Breasts boneless and skinless
1/4 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
2 tbps Avocado oil or Olive Oil

Buffalo Sauce

1/3 cup Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce
1 tbsp Butter melted, unsalted

Taco Ingredients

8 tortillas I used one pack and the amount varies depending on the brand of tortillas that you use
2 cups Shredded Romaine Lettuce
Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing click for the recipe
1 tbsp Avocado oil for browning the tortillas

Instructions

Make the Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken

Mix the spices together in a small bowl.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 °F for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken breasts to a large mixing bowl with the spices and oil. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 400 °F for 7-9 min per side, depending on how large your chicken breasts are.
Mix the buffalo sauce ingredients.
Toss the cooked chicken in sauce, allow it to rest in the Buffalo sauce for 5 minutes
Cut the chicken breast into thin slices.

Assemble the tacos

Heat avocado oil in a large cast iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
Place the tortillas on the griddle (as many as you can fit).
Heat the tortillas for 30-45 seconds per side to get them warm
Assemble your tacos: Add 1 large spoonful of blue cheese dressing, generous amount of lettuce, and chicken.
Leftover sauce can be served with the wrap in a dipping cup along with extra blue cheese.

Notes

Serve with extra sauce: Keep a small bowl of blue cheese dressing and/or leftover hot sauce on the side.
Shortcut with shredded chicken: Use about 2½ cups of shredded chicken from the Instant Pot Shredded Chicken or a rotisserie chicken, then mix it with the buffalo sauce. You can also use my Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken (just cook it as is without making any extra buffalo sauce).
Pick your tortillas: I like Maria & Ricardo’s almond flour tortillas for a lower-carb option or Rise & Puff tortillas for a simple-ingredient flour tortilla. You can also add the meat to butter lettuce.
