- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions
- Marinate the sliced chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Combine hot sauce with melted butter and honey to make buffalo sauce in a small bowl.
- Pour half the sauce over the cooked chicken, tossing to coat and simmering for 1 minute.

- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15 seconds.
- Divide the chicken mixture between the tortillas, top with slaw, shredded cheese, and dressing. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
