Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add the chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to a mixing bowl and mix until just combined.
Lay 6 tortillas on the counter and evenly divide the chicken mixture between each tortilla. Press down and spread the meat almost all the way to the sides. The meat should be a thin layer.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add one tortilla with the meat down. Use a spatula to press down on the tortilla to make sure the meat is flattened. Cook for 5-6 minutes, the meat should be cooked through. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes to crisp the tortilla. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the “tacos”. Repeat this step until all 6 tacos are cooked.
Combine the romaine with ranch or blue cheese dressing – or make 2 separate salads if you have some that like ranch and some that prefer blue cheese.
When ready to assemble, top each with some of the dressed romaine. Drizzle a little buffalo sauce over the top. Optional, drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing on top to cut some of the heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy! To eat, simply fold in half like a taco.
