A quick and easy buffalo chicken wrap featuring tender shredded chicken tossed in spicy buffalo sauce, layered with crisp veggies and creamy blue cheese or ranch dressing, all wrapped in a soft tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz / 340 g), cooked and shredded
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) buffalo wing sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25 cm diameter), warmed
  • 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup carrots, julienned or shredded
  • 1/2 cup celery sticks, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Cook and shred the chicken: Boil or poach the chicken breasts until cooked through (about 15 minutes), then shred finely with two forks. Alternatively, use leftover roasted chicken.
  2. Make the buffalo sauce mixture: In a small bowl, combine buffalo wing sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss chicken in sauce: Place shredded chicken in a mixing bowl, pour buffalo sauce over it, and gently fold until evenly coated. Marinate briefly for 5 minutes if possible.
  4. Prep the veggies: Shred lettuce, julienne carrots, slice celery and red onion. Rinse and pat dry to keep veggies crisp.
  5. Warm the tortillas: Heat tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds until soft and flexible.
  6. Assemble the wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat, spread a spoonful of blue cheese or ranch dressing down the center, add buffalo chicken, then pile on the veggies evenly.
  7. Wrap it up: Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold sides inward, and roll tightly away from you. Slice in half diagonally if desired.
  8. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

If buffalo sauce is too runny, simmer gently to thicken before tossing chicken. Add lettuce and dressing just before serving to avoid sogginess. Warm tortillas properly to prevent cracking. Use shredded chicken for better sauce coating. For low-carb, substitute tortillas with large romaine or collard greens. For milder flavor, swap buffalo sauce with BBQ sauce or add extra butter/ranch dressing.
