  • [q:1/8] tsp garlic powder
  • [q:1/2]  tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • [q:1/4] tsp sea salt
  • 6 Tbsp Louisiana hot sauce

For the Tacos

  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp chipotle sauce, or more to taste
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or brown rice flour (if you’re gluten-free)
  • 1 Tbsp garlic chili oil, optional
  • 1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 4 (6-inch) flour tortillas (or corn tortillas if you’re gluten-free)
  • 1 plum tomato, diced
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
  • [q:1/2] cup microgreens

Directions
  1. Make sauces: Combine all ingredients for Buffalo sauce in a small bowl. Set aside. Combine mayonnaise and chipotle sauce in another small bowl, and mix well.
  2. Season chicken tenders all over with salt and pepper, and dredge in flour.
  3. Sauté chicken in garlic chili oil and canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Pour in Buffalo sauce, and sauté until sauce coats chicken and starts to brown. Remove from heat.
  4. To make a taco, spread [q:1/2] to 1 tablespoon of chipotle mayo on 1 tortilla. Top with 2 chicken tenders, plus [q:1/4] each of the tomatoes, the cilantro, the microgreens, and the blue cheese. Repeat to make four tacos in all. Serve.
