My husband, Eric, loves spending all day Sunday watching his football games, screaming his head off when the quarterback makes a good or bad play or laughing his butt off when you he sees a fat linebacker do a victory dance. He’ll be partaking in these fun man-ly activities until Superbowl. Help me. However, you will not find me watching football all day with him because I try and work on chores for our house. Whether it be cleaning the bedrooms, doing loads of laundry, menu planning, clipping coupons, or finding recipes online for dinner to make for the week – it’s my wifey duties, right?
The truth is….I don’t really enjoy watching football. It’s not my favorite sport to watch, it’s entertaining at times, but not my cup of tea. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love hosting our Superbowl parties, but I’m all about the tasty grub and funny commercials. Buffalo chicken dip is one of the crowd’s most favorite dips – buffalo sauce, chicken and cheese – it’s pretty smacktastic and addicting. This is a tasty fusion of the buffalo chicken dip rolled up into a taco, so much easier to eat and perfect for those hungry football fans.
Sunday funday + buffalo chicken tacos = the best football grub ever.

Review: It took my husband a quick minute to warm up to these tacos because he thought they sounded strange. He’s a big fan of the buffalo chicken dip and once we bit into our tacos we instantly became fans. We had one of those “well, damn why didn’t we think of that scenario moments.” Then munch, munch, cheer for the score and eat some more. Oh football does funny things to you. I do love my hometown team of San Diego Chargers, so I’ll cheer them on whenever they are on the big screen but other than that…boo hoo to everyone else.
