• 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (Trimmed and sliced into ½‑inch thick pieces)
• ⅓ cup Buffalo Sauce (Store‑bought or homemade (hot sauce mixed with melted butter))
• 2 Tbsp All‑Purpose Flour (Light coating for the chicken)
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil (For brushing the griddle)
• 8 pieces Small Flour Tortillas (2 per serving; can use corn tortillas for gluten‑free)
• 1 large Ripe Avocado (Sliced just before serving)
• ½ cup Greek Yogurt (Plain, full‑fat for creaminess)
• 1 whole Jalapeño Pepper (Finely diced; keep seeds if you like extra heat)

• 1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (Chopped)
• 1 Tbsp Lime Juice (Freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp Ranch Seasoning Mix (Store‑bought packet)
• ½ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Black Pepper (Freshly ground)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Grill

   Remove the grates from the Weber Genesis and place the Weber griddle insert. Turn the grill to medium‑high heat (about 400°F / 204°C) and let the griddle heat up for 5 minutes.

3. Prepare the Chicken

   Slice the chicken breast into ½‑inch thick pieces. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then lightly coat each piece with the all‑purpose flour. Drizzle olive oil over the pieces and let sit while the grill finishes heating.

4. Grill and Smash the Chicken

   Place the chicken pieces on the hot griddle. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned. Using a flat spatula or meat press, gently smash each piece to flatten, then cook an additional 1–2 minutes until the interior reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. Toss Chicken in Buffalo Sauce

   Temperature: 400°F

7. Assemble the Tacos

   Place a generous portion of smashed buffalo chicken on each tortilla, top with a spoonful of the herby jalapeño yogurt ranch slaw, add avocado slices, and drizzle any remaining buffalo sauce if desired.
