Here’s everything you need to know about Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos and how to make them at home.

What are Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos?

Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos are a popular menu item at the chain restaurants. They are small, handheld tacos that are made with a variety of flavorful ingredients, which according to their website, include pulled chicken, parmesan garlic, house-made pico de gallo, southwestern ranch, and cilantro. The tacos are served on flour tortillas and are perfect for sharing.

Although these tacos are from Buffalo Wild Wings, they are not your typical buffalo chicken tacos. They don’t have buffalo sauce, green onions, OR blue cheese crumbles. If you’d like to try that version try my buffalo chicken taco recipe.

What to Serve with Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos

Serve the tacos with a side of Mexican rice and beans, Avocado Salad, or just chips and salsa!

Let’s Gather Up the Ingredients

• Chicken– I prefer to use boneless skinless chicken thighs in this recipe, but you could also use chicken breasts if you prefer white meat. You can grill, pan fry or you could even use fried chicken! I like to dice it into small pieces, but you could also slice it or use shredded chicken. 

• Seasoning mix– Chili Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Cayenne pepper, Cumin, Oregano, and Paprika 

• Garlic– Freshly grated using your microplane or very finely diced. 

• Cilantro– Roughly chopped

• Crisp Lettuce– Iceberg or romaine lettuce are both great choices 

• Parmesan Cheese– Buffalo Wild Wings website says their street tacos have garlic parmesan. I made my own version, but you can substitute it with your favorite cheese for tacos. Sharp cheddar or cotija cheese would both be good choices. 

• Chipotle Peppers– Adjust the amount to your heat tolerance. These peppers have a nice smokey flavor that pairs well with the tacos.

• Ranch dressing– Your favorite brand is great!

• Flour tortillas– You can get my recipe for Homemade Flour Tortillas here, but of course, you can just buy whatever tortillas your family enjoys. These are also great with corn tortillas. I haven’t attempted a homemade version of those yet, but stay tuned 🙂

• Southwestern Ranch– Just mix your favorite ranch dressing with some chopped chipotle peppers and a little of the seasoning mix you made.

• Handmade pico de gallo 

Now Let’s Get Cooking

Make the seasoning mix

• Combine the Chili Powder, Onion Powder, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Cayenne pepper, Cumin, Oregano, and Paprika in a small mixing bowl. Use the mixture to season the chicken liberally on both sides and then put it in the refrigerator to dry marinate for at least an hour. 

Make the Southwestern Ranch

• Combine 1 cup of your favorite ranch dressing with 1 diced chipotle pepper and 1/2 tsp of your seasoning mix in a mason jar. Shake to combine, and then refrigerate to let the flavors incorporate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Make the Garlic Parmesan

• Grate fresh garlic and parmesan cheese very finely using a Microplane and then combine them in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.

• Grill the chicken over high heat until charred on the outside and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Tent with foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Once it has rested, dice it into small pieces and set aside.

• Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until warm and slightly toasted.

• Fill each tortilla with grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and cheese.

• Drizzle the southwestern ranch over the top of the tacos and sprinkle on some chopped cilantro.

• Serve immediately and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
