Healthy "Velvet Taco" Buffalo Chicken Tacos


ree

Ingredients

  • Protein Base:

    • 2–3 gluten-free breaded chicken tenders

    • 2–3 tbsp Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce

  • Taco Shell Options (choose one or mix & match):

    • Egglife Wraps – light and high-protein

    • Siete Tortillas – soft and grain-free

    • Lettuce Wraps – crisp and refreshing

  • Toppings:

    • ¼ cup thinly sliced carrots

    • Handful of microgreens (or shredded romaine)

    • 1 tbsp nut-based blue cheese crumble (I like the brand nuts for cheese)

    • 1–2 tbsp dairy-free ranch dressing (I like Gotham Greens)


Method:

  1. Step 1: Air Fry the Chicken. Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Place gluten-free breaded chicken tenders in the basket and cook according to package directions (usually 10–12 minutes), until crispy and golden.

  2. Step 2: Toss in Buffalo Sauce. Once done, place the chicken in a bowl and toss with Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce until evenly coated. Slice into smaller pieces for easy layering in your wraps or tacos.

  3. Step 3: Prepare Your Base. Warm Egglife wraps or Siete tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to soften, or rinse and pat dry your lettuce leaves for a crisp option.

  4. Step 4: Assemble Your Tacos. Lay out your wrap of choice. Add a layer of buffalo chicken.

  5. Top with thinly sliced carrots, a handful of microgreens, and a sprinkle of nut-based blue cheese crumble.

  6. Finish with a drizzle of dairy-free ranch.

  7. Step 5: Serve & Enjoy: Fold and enjoy immediately while warm and crisp. 


  • Optional: Garnish with extra hot sauce or fresh herbs for presentation.
