Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.33 cup Buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 pieces Small tortillas (flour or corn)
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Crumbled blue cheese
- 0.33 cup Ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return the beef to the pan.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the Buffalo sauce and butter to the skillet. Stir well until the butter is melted and the beef is evenly coated. Lower the heat to keep warm.
In a dry skillet or directly over a flame, warm the tortillas briefly on each side until soft and pliable, about 10-15 seconds per tortilla. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel or tortilla warmer.
Assemble the tacos by adding a generous scoop of the Buffalo beef mixture to the center of each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Buffalo Style Beef Tacos!
