After having the flu and strep throat back-to-back, I’ve finally returned to the kitchen and I’m ready to spice things up…literally! I have a delicious recipe that is going to spice up your Taco Tuesday.
Being sick is the worst! I was sick for about two weeks and I’m so ready to get back into the world and be a productive member of society. Don’t get me wrong, the first day or two of resting and catching up on TV was okay, but after a while you can only watch so many episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. All is well now and I’m making a slow, but steady recovery.
I’m so happy to finally be back in a routine. I started my new job this week and I’m so excited to be meeting new people and learning new things. This week is busy, so I’m trying to cook super easy dishes like these Buffalo Chicken Tacos. I love anything buffalo flavored and will use just about any excuse to incorporate buffalo sauce into a recipe. These tacos are so yummy and so easy! For this recipe, I use a lean ground turkey or ground chicken, which is a healthier alternative to ground beef. I also garnish these tacos with a creamy blue cheese sour cream. Are you ready to spice things up? Let’s get started!

- Prep your veggies, dicing two stalks of celery, mincing 1 clove of garlic and slicing the green onions.
- In a skillet on medium-high heat, drizzle 1 tsp of olive oil and add 1 lb of ground turkey or ground chicken. Add in the celery. Cook the meat all the way through and until it's no longer pink in color.
- Add in the minced garlic and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Pour in ¾ cup of buffalo sauce and add in green onions. Mix and then let the meat mixture simmer for 5 minutes on low.
- While your meat is simmering, prepare the blue cheese sour cream. In a bowl, combine ½ cup of sour cream and ¼ cup of blue cheese crumbles. Stir in salt and pepper to taste
- Warm up your taco shells. I used crunchy shells, but you can use soft flour tortillas or soft corn tortillas.
- Lastly, assemble your tacos and garnish with toppings of your choice. Lettuce, tomato, green onions, cheese and of course the yummy blue cheese sour cream. Enjoy!
