Double Buffalo Chicken Tacos

This recipe was created by Plate Up.

Turn taco night into a total crowd-pleaser with these Buffalo Chicken Traybake Tacos, the ultimate easy summer dinner that’s big on flavour and low on effort. Inspired by crispy tacos, this traybake version keeps things simple: just assemble, bake, and Plate Up. Perfect for relaxed evenings or casual entertaining, it’s a fuss-free way to get everyone round the table. Juicy shredded chicken is coated in Dr. Will’s Buffalo Hot Sauce, made with 100% natural ingredients and no artificial additives, then tossed with a handy veg mix and sweetcorn for extra colour and crunch. The tacos are loaded up, topped with cheese, and baked until golden and crisp. But we’re not stopping there, this recipe is all about double Buffalo flavour. We're turning the hot sauce into a spicy, garlicky butter that you brush the tacos with before baking for the ultimate flavour boost, bringing that signature tangy heat to every bite. These crispy, cheesy tacos are made to be pulled apart, shared, and devoured. As with all our recipes you can adjust the seasoning to taste and who you are cooking for - if you like less heat simply add less hot sauce, or add more if you enjoy a spicy kick! For a vegetarian or vegan alternative we recommend swapping the chicken for shredded halloumi, mushrooms or a plant based alternative meat.

INGREDIENTS (serves 4):
2 roasted cooked chicken breasts, shredded
200g frozen sliced peppers
100g tinned sweetcorn, drained
6 tbsp Dr. Will’s Buffalo Hot Sauce
8 soft tacos
