Today I really wanted buffalo chicken flavor, but I had taco shells in the fridge, so I decided to marry the two and make buffalo chicken tacos. I also decided to make them in the crockpot, so I put the chicken, 2 stalks of celery, a handful of carrots, a pepper, a cup of hot sauce, and a half cup of ranch dressing. I put it on low and cooked everything for about 5 hours. After 5 hours, I took the chicken out and shredded it, then put it back in the crock pot. I let that stay in there, just as long as it took to heat some taco shells, set the table, and pour some drinks.

After I set the table, I scooped out the chicken mixture, and topped each taco with bleu cheese and fresh cilantro. They were so good! They did turn out quite spicy though, so if you don't like spice too much, you could cook the chicken and vegetables in half a cup hot sauce, half a cup chicken stock, and half a cup ranch dressing. You could also use bleu cheese dressing instead of the ranch and any other shredded cheese instead of the bleu! Yay for options!
