This past weekend I was making some Buffalo chicken egg rolls with cilantro lime ranch sauce. It was a Saturday and Gerald was off work and all the kids were waiting on lunch, LOL. If you don’t know anything about blogging is that it takes a lot of time and taking pictures is involved. So, I had baked some chicken breasts and had a lot of meal ideas going on in my head (which is normal for me, lol). Which was Keto Buffalo Chicken Street Tacos with Cilantro Lime Ranch.
I took some baked chicken I seasoned it with the ingredients that you’ll see on down in this post. But, I took that chicken at made egg rolls with some of it.
I had some extra seasoned chicken breast and I had purchased some of these Mission Zero Net Carbs tortillas for a different recipe. While everyone was gobbling down my Buffalo Chicken egg rolls I came up with this recipe and IT IS DELICIOUS! Actually, Gerald, who isn’t really on anything keto, took one of these tacos and added some Mexican Street Corn to his tacos.
I know corn isn’t keto, but it was really good. I had made the Mexican street corn to go with the egg rolls, because my kiddos LOVE my Mexican street corn. My first thought was buffalo chicken and Mexican street corn don’t go together, but my kids thought that it was great! LOL

Step 1 ā The first step is to cook the chicken breasts and shred it. You can cook your chicken breasts in many different ways. I love to bake or grill my chicken breasts, then after it has cooled I will shred the chicken with my hands. Either baking or grilling is an easy way to cook your chicken breast. If itās a nice day outside Iāll grill mine, but if itās not then Iāll bake my chicken in the oven at 350 degrees until the internal temperature is 165.
- Grill Chicken
- Bake Chicken
- Cook chicken in a crockpot
- Buy a Rotisserie chicken from the supermarket
Step 2 – Prepare Buffalo Chicken
- Add shredded chicken breast to a bowl and add sour cream, buffalo sauce, green onions (optional), dill weed, garlic powder and salt.
Step 3 – Make the Cilantro Lime Ranch dressing
- Take a medium size bowl
- Add sour cream, mayo, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, lime juice and cilantro
- Mix well and set aside
Step 4 – Take your Mission zero net carbs tortilla and add the shredded chicken breast, cilantro lime ranch dressing and cheese. I chose a queso fresco cheese from Aldi that I crumbled on top of my street taco, plus I added some pico de gallo (optional)
TIPS!
- Add the cilantro lime ranch to your tacos or use it as a dipping sauce
- Before preparing the tacos you can microwave your tortillas or not. I didn’t cook mine and they were delicious. The tortillas could be heated up in a microwave or fried in a skillet with a little oil.
