Ingredients
  

For the Waffle Tacos:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

¼ cup melted butter

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cooking spray

For the Buffalo Chicken Filling:

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

½ cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust to taste)

¼ cup cream cheese, softened

¼ cup ranch dressing

1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)

For Serving:

Additional buffalo wing sauce

Diced celery and carrots (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Make the Waffle Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the cheddar cheese.

    Prepare the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

      Cook the Waffle Tacos: Pour a small amount of the batter into the preheated waffle iron (about ¾ cup depending on the size of your waffle maker). Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Carefully remove the waffle and immediately fold it into a taco shape. Place it in a warm oven (200°F/93°C) to keep it warm while you cook the rest.

        Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo wing sauce, cream cheese, and ranch dressing. Stir until well combined.

          Fill the Waffle Tacos: Once all the waffles are cooked and warm, fill each taco with a generous scoop of the buffalo chicken mixture.

            Garnish and Serve: Top the filled waffle tacos with extra buffalo wing sauce, diced celery, carrots, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
