How to make crispy Buffalo chicken tacos with collard slaw and a protein-packed ranch dressing

To create crispy baked buffalo chicken tacos featuring collard slaw and protein-packed ranch dressing, begin by preparing the protein ranch dressing. Combine lemon juice, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and other ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Coat chicken with buffalo sauce and place tortillas on the lined sheets, spraying them with oil and flipping them over. Add shredded cheese to one half of each tortilla, then place 2 tablespoons of buffalo chicken mixture on top. Add another layer of cheese and bake the open-faced tacos for 5 minutes. Press them closed after the cheese melts, flip them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, and finally flip them once more for a last 5-minute bake.

While the tacos bake, mix shredded collard greens with the protein ranch dressing until evenly coated. To serve, open each hot taco and add a generous spoonful of collard slaw. Cassy Joy Garcia, author of "The Protein Meal Prep Plan," recommends this delicious and protein-rich dish.
