There is so much I love about Game Day besides watching my favorite team play. I love the quality time I get to spend with my family and friends, the laughs and conversation, and of course, all the yummy food. There’s no better excuse to get everyone together to relax, have fun and eat!
One of my favorite Game Day foods is buffalo wings. A local restaurant in my town makes the most amazing garlic hot wings that we love to eat on Game Day, or any day for that matter! They are spicy (but not too spicy) and covered in lots of sauce. They are so yummy but too expensive to order for a large crowd.
A delicious alternative to hot wings is slow cooker buffalo chicken — it has the same spicy flavor, only much cheaper! You can easily make enough for a crowd and there are so many ways you can serve it — on buns for sandwiches, over rice, on rolls for sliders, or even in tacos!
When I was at Walmart the other day I saw these Old El Paso Mini Flour Tortilla Taco Boats made with real flour tortillas. It got me thinking that I could use them to make buffalo chicken taco boats for our next game day party. I decided to trial them for my son’s birthday dinner and they turned out perfect. The whole family loved them!
These Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Mini Taco Boats are simple to make, and best of all, full of flavor. They make a great appetizer! Simply cook the chicken in your slow cooker and prepare the coleslaw ahead of time. When you are ready to eat, simply spoon coleslaw into each taco boat and top with chicken and drizzle with ranch dressing and wing sauce if desired. Delish!
- 4 large (or 6 small) boneless chicken breasts (thawed or frozen)
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
- ½ packet dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup scallions (green onions), chopped
- ½ cup real mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 box Old El Paso Mini Flour Tortilla Taco Boats (Party Size, 20 count)
- ranch dressing for topping
- wing sauce for topping
- Place chicken breasts in slow cooker and cover with dry ranch dressing mix and wing sauce.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours (or low for 6-7 hours).
- Remove chicken from slow cooker and cut into small chunks. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir to coat with sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 hours on warm to allow chicken to soak up the sauce.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, milk, vinegar and sugar until well blended.
- Add coleslaw mix and scallions and mix until well coated. Refrigerate for one hour.
- Scoop coleslaw into taco boats and top with chicken. Drizzle with ranch dressing and wing sauce if desired.
