Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, toss together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, salt, and ⅓ cup RedHot® Sauce until well-combined.
  2. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spread ¼ cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese in a circle about the size of a tortilla directly on the pan, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of RedHot® Sauce, and cook until melted and the edges start to crisp, about 2 minutes. Press a tortilla on top of the cheese and flip to cook the tortilla until golden, about 1 minute. Flip it again, cheese-side down this time, and add some of the chicken mixture to the center. Fold the tortilla over the filling and cook for 30–60 seconds on each side, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 8 tacos total.
  3. Serve the tacos with sour cream and diced avocado, plus an extra drizzle of RedHot® Sauce.
  4. Enjoy!
