Equipment

  • Pot
  • muffin tin
  • microwave
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

For the Tortilla Cups

  • 12 pieces tortillas sub gluten-free if necessary

For the Buffalo Chicken Filling

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 0.5 cup plain greek yogurt I prefer full-fat
  • 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
  • 0.25 cup ranch more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 dash cayenne optional

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Add chicken to a pot & cover with cold water. Add salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover & reduce heat to low. Continue cooking for 10-20 mins or until chicken reaches 165F.
  • Shred chicken with two forks (or a stand mixer). This should yield about 2.5 cups. You could also rotisserie chicken or whatever method you prefer!
  • Preheat oven to 350F. Place tortillas on a plate and warm them in the microwave for 15 seconds. Then, cut into 4” circles. Press each tortilla round into a muffin tin cavity, pleating as needed. Spray with oil. Bake for 12 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, buffalo sauce, ranch and seasonings. Add in the shredded chicken and stir until coated.
  • Scoop the buffalo chicken mixture into the tortilla cups and top with some shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes. Broil for the last 3 to get the cheese a little golden & crispy!
  • Let them cool for a few minutes, then top with a drizzle of ranch + some chopped green onion. Enjoy!

Notes

You will need 12, 4" rounds so depending on the size of your tortillas, you may need less than listed in the recipe.
