Chiiiiiives


Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving and up to 4 hours.

Reheat buffalo chicken filling in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. Warm tortillas according to package and fill each tortilla with buffalo chicken filling. Top with slaw and crumbled blue cheese.

Served with chips. Hint of lime, of course.

My Rating: 4/5 "I should start with the caveat that I used a hot sauce that was WAY too hot for this to be pleasant. I recommend using a fairly mild one. That said, the slaw is pretty amazing and would be great on any other taco or sandwich. Get a nice thin shred on the chicken and you'll quite enjoy this."
