Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Pita Tacos 🌶️🧀 Crispy, cheesy, delicious and packed with protein! These are SO easy to make and perfect for meal prep, too. 🙌🏼 Full recipe in the comments! Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Pita Tacos 🌶️🧀 Makes 4 pita tacos Ingredients: * 1 lb chicken tenderloins * ½ cup Frank’s RedHot or your favorite hot sauce * 4 Joseph’s Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pitas * 8 oz lite shredded mozzarella * Shredded lettuce * Thinly sliced red onion * Homemade protein ranch * Chopped chives * Extra hot sauce, optional * Oil spray Air Fryer Directions: Remove the tendons from the chicken tenderloins and place chicken on a parchment-lined air fryer tray lightly sprayed with oil. Air fry at 400°F for about 8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Tenderloins cook quickly, so keep an eye on them! Transfer chicken to a bowl, add hot sauce and shred using 2 forks. Mix until well coated. Add 1 oz mozzarella to one half of each pita. Divide the buffalo chicken evenly between the 4 pitas, then top each with another 1 oz mozzarella. Fold the pitas closed. Air fry at 400°F for about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pita is crispy and the cheese is melted. Every air fryer is different, so check them as they cook. Carefully open each pita and fill with shredded lettuce, red onion, protein ranch, chives and extra hot sauce, if desired. Enjoy! ❤️ Oven Directions: Bake chicken at 425°F for about 12–15 minutes, or until it reaches 165°F. Shred with hot sauce and assemble pitas as directed above. Bake assembled pitas at 425°F for about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and melty. Meal Prep: Prepare through the crispy pita step and refrigerate. When ready to eat, reheat in the air fryer or oven until warmed through and crispy, then open and add your cold toppings.
