STEPS

1. Put all the Buffalo Chicken ingredients in a slow cooker for 6 hours and shred after 3 hours. You’ll want to reserve the sauce to serve on the side if people want to add more.
2. Blue Cheese Cilantro Ranch: While your chicken is in the slow cooker, add all of the dressing ingredients (except the blue cheese) to your blender and chop then liquefy until smooth. Chill for at least an hour.
3. Toppings Add all of the toppings to a large bowl except avocados and blue cheese and mix until evenly combined. Add avocados and blue cheese and gently toss.
4. To assemble, top with desired amount of Buffalo Chicken, topping mixture and drizzle with Ranch. Garnish with additional blue cheese and lime if you want!
5. The best way to serve soft tacos are with clothesline clips! They make the tacos easy to grab and eat! Colette painted them to look like footballs but you could also paint them your favorite team’s colors. Here is a link for the one’s we bought.
