Buffalo sauce isn’t just for wings! This Buffalo Beef Taco recipe is a simple weeknight dinner idea, filled with a punch of buffalo flavor.
Love buffalo chicken flavors? Try these Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches or this Buffalo Chicken Pizza.
Everyone loves taco night, don’t they? I could seriously eat tacos once a week and not get sick of them. In fact, I’ve been craving them like crazy lately, and have probably eaten them 3 times in the past 2 weeks!!
But what do you do if your family is getting tired of your normal taco cravings? Change it up a bit!! This Buffalo Beef Taco Recipe is a great way to get your taco fix but to have something a little different at the same time. This recipe actually came from a free brochure I picked up at the grocery store several years ago. And you do know what? Sometimes great recipes come from unexpected places!
You all should know how I feel about tacos at this point, and I love the fun buffalo twist these tacos have. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that dinner can be on the table in only 20 minutes!!
I was surprised that the majority of my family actually scarfed these down and we didn’t have a scrap left. That is a successful dinner!

I would really enjoy this as I'm a buffalo wings fan. Actually, I first thought this was tacos made with buffalo meat, which ironically I just made last week. Now I want to make buffalo-Buffalo tacos! 🙂

My 7-year-old loves tacos and mentioned that we haven't had them in awhile – might be time to make a batch – yours look delicious!

I could live off of buffalo sauce. I love the stuff. It's like my go to condiment. I put in on pizzas, sandwiches, quesadillas- BUT never on a taco – genius!! I'm totally gonna try that next time I make tacos.
