Gather Your Ingredients
Before diving into the cooking process, let’s make sure we have all the necessary ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup of your favorite wing sauce (we recommend Buffalo Wild Wings’ Classic Medium sauce)
- 1/4 cup of ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 8 small flour tortillas
- Toppings of your choice (such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and crumbled queso fresco)
Marinating the Chicken
Start by marinating the chicken breast to infuse it with flavor. In a bowl, combine the wing sauce, ranch dressing, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then add the chicken breast to the bowl, ensuring it is fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Cooking the Chicken
After marinating the chicken, it’s time to cook it to perfection. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken breast from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Assembling the Tacos
Now comes the fun part – assembling your BWW Street Tacos! Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them easier to handle. Lay out each tortilla and place a generous portion of the sliced chicken in the center. Top it off with your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and crumbled queso fresco. Feel free to get creative and add any other toppings that tickle your taste buds!

Your BWW Street Tacos are now ready to be enjoyed.

FAQ
1. Can I use a different type of meat for these tacos?
Absolutely! While this recipe calls for chicken breast, you can easily substitute it with beef, pork, or even shrimp. Adjust the cooking time accordingly depending on the protein you choose.
2. Can I make these tacos vegetarian?
Definitely! For a vegetarian version, you can replace the chicken with grilled vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and onions. The marinade and toppings will still bring out incredible flavors.
