Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, ranch dressing, and dill relish. Stir until well-mixed and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine ground chicken with buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Himalayan salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
  4. Take portions of the chicken mixture, roll into balls, then smash them down in the skillet to form thin patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Warm the tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing a chicken patty in each tortilla and topping with the ranch slaw.
  7. Serve the assembled tacos immediately while warm.
