First, preheat your oven to 425F and line two baking sheets (or one extra-large baking sheet) with parchment paper. Then, bring a large pan to medium heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the pan. Once hot, add onion and cauliflower rice and season with a pinch of kosher salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, stir, and cook until fragrant, 1 more minute.

Add in the ground chicken along with the paprika, kosher salt & black pepper. Use your spatula to break the ground chicken into small pieces, and cook until browned through. Next, add in the buffalo sauce, stir until combined, and remove from the heat.

Mix together both cheeses in a small bowl to ensure they're evenly combined. You can also use a pre-shredded bag of cheddar jack cheese, although I find that freshly shredded melts a bit better!

It's important to warm your tortillas before assembling to ensure they don't break. I recommend doing this in several batches, so that they stay warm. Wrap a few of your corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds, until warm and pliable. Then, place them onto your prepared baking sheet and spray both sides of each tortilla lightly with oil.

Working quickly, add a thin layer of cheese to one half of each tortilla. Then, layer on a few spoonfuls of the buffalo chicken mixture, followed by another thin layer of cheese on top. Fold the tortillas in half and press down firmly so that it stays closed. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, warming them up right before you're ready to assemble.

Transfer baking sheet(s) to the oven for 10-12 minutes, then gently flip and continue baking for 10-12 more minutes, until crispy. Some of the filling may ooze out, and that's okay!

While the tacos are baking, prepare the homemade ranch dipping sauce by stirring together all ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Allow the tacos to cool for several minutes before dipping into the ranch, and enjoying!
