Buffalo Chicken Tacos

Hey guys! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I am LOVING the warm weather we're having here in Charleston, but unfortunately, I don't think it's gonna last :( Oh well...at least it's not snowing! Ok so, this recipe...most people who know me know that I am NOT a fan of spicy food. I am just about the biggest baby ever when it comes to hot stuff. Heath loves it though, so that's really the only reason I made this recipe. That and it looked really good.

I was unaware that pretty much ALL wing sauce is hot, but I did manage to find some Texas Pete Extra Mild Sauce. Not too bad! I was even able to eat one of these! Well..ok, only half of one...but still, that's progress!

Definitely not a recipe for the little ones though. Jesse INSISTED on trying a bite. He just wouldn't leave it alone. He quickly discovered that he's just like his Mama...a total spicy food wuss :)
