Ingredients
  

For the Waffle Tacos:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

¼ cup melted butter

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon paprika

For the Buffalo Chicken Filling:

2 cups cooked shredded chicken

½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

¼ cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)

For the Toppings:

½ cup diced celery (optional)

½ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffle Mixture:

    - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and paprika.

      - In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

        Preheat the Waffle Iron:

          - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

            Cook the Waffle Tacos:

              - Pour about ⅓ cup of the waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron (adjust depending on the size of your iron) and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions until golden brown.

                - Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle and immediately fold it in half to form a taco shape. If your waffle iron allows, you can hold the taco shape using something to support it until it cools slightly and retains the form. Repeat with remaining batter.

                  Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling:

                    - In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and softened cream cheese until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

                      Assemble the Mini Tacos:

                        - Fill each waffle taco with a generous scoop of the buffalo chicken mixture. Top with diced celery, a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing, and garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.

                          Serve and Enjoy:

                            - Arrange your Mini Buffalo Chicken Waffle Tacos on a serving platter. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this fun twist on a classic favorite!
