Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
2 tablespoons butter (divided)
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
1 tablespoon homemade ranch seasoning blend
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
8 ounces Mexican cheese blend (about 2 cups)
8 small taco sized or 4 large (burrito sized) flour tortillas
Ranch dressing and additional buffalo wing sauce for dipping optional

Instructions

In skillet over medium high heat melt 1 tablespoon of butter
Add ground chicken and brown until fully cooked
Drain excess grease/liquid if any
Add buffalo wing sauce (start with 1/2 cup and add more to taste if necessary) and ranch seasoning
Stir until well combined and heated through
Remove from heat and set aside for assembly
Take one tortilla and layer on 1/4 of each of the cheeses and meat mixture, making sure to split the cheese on both sides of the meat to help the tortillas stay together
Using a clean skillet heat it over medium high heat and rub lightly with some of the remaining butter (use a knife or chopstick to protect your fingers)
Place assembled tortilla in skillet and cover with another tortilla (or fold in half if using burrito size)
Cook for about 1-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden brown
Let cool slightly and slice as desired
