Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 4 protein tortillas
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Frank’s RedHot Sauce or your favorite buffalo sauce
  • Light ranch dressing
  • Corn canned, fresh, or thawed frozen
  • Green onions chopped
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  • Divide the seasoned chicken into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a ball.
  • Place a ball of chicken onto each tortilla. Using your hands or a spatula, flatten and spread the chicken into a thin, even layer over the entire surface of the tortilla.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the tortilla in the pan with the chicken side down first. Cook for 3–4 minutes to allow the chicken to cook through.
  • Carefully flip the tortilla so the chicken side is now up and let it crisp up for about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the pan. Drizzle with buffalo sauce and light ranch. Sprinkle with corn and chopped green onions.
  • Slice, fold, or eat as-is. Enjoy while hot!
