Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add your shredded cooked chicken, stirring gently as you pour in the buffalo sauce. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until heated through and evenly coated.
  2. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds or on a griddle over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes per side.
  3. Spread ranch dressing on half of each warm tortilla, then spoon your hot buffalo chicken mixture over the ranch and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Fold each tortilla in half and place them in the skillet over medium heat, cooking for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove tacos from the skillet and garnish with chopped green onions and additional toppings if desired. Serve warm.
