Instructions

Step-by-step guide
  1. 1

    Add the diced chicken to a large bowl with all the seasonings and 1 tbsp avocado oil. Mix until every piece is coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the remaining 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and add-in buffalo sauce, honey, and cilantro. Mix together.

    Timer: 8m
  3. 3

    Add all sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, bright green, and very hard not to taste repeatedly.

  4. 4

    Lay a tortilla flat. Sprinkle a thin layer of mozzarella, add 2 to 3 tbsp buffalo chicken, then another light sprinkle of cheese. Fold in half. Repeat until all tacos are built.

  5. 5

    Heat a thin layer of avocado oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Cook tacos in batches until golden and crispy on both sides, adding more oil as needed.

  6. 6

    Serve hot, generously drizzle with garlic lime aioli, add extra cilantro if you like, and enjoy the crunch. Dunk responsibly.
