Equipment
- Muffin Tin
- 4" Circle Cookie Cutter (or use a drinking glass)
- small pot
Ingredients
For the Tortilla Cups:
- 12 tortillas* (sub gluten-free if necessary)
For the Buffalo Chicken Filling:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt (I prefer full-fat)
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ¼ cup ranch + more for topping
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- dash of cayenne (optional)
For Topping:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- chopped green onion (optional)
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 (depending on size) 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.
- Meanwhile, 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. I like to 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.
