Oven Baked Buffalo Chicken Tacos

So I have a little confession. Before experimenting with these oven baked tacos, I haven’t had an oven baked taco before. Crazy, right? We are always doing the typical “cold” taco. By “cold” I mean just warming the taco shells in the oven for a couple of minutes, adding the meat mixture, and finishing them off with our favorite toppings. Those were good. But these buffalo chicken tacos in the oven are perfection!

By baking the mixture and then adding a lot of shredded cheese on top, it allows the flavors to blend into the shell. So, so, good. So if you were like me before and hadn’t tried oven baked tacos before, please try these! Especially if you love buffalo chicken.
