Key Ingredients & Substitutions

Flour Tortillas: Large flour tortillas hold everything together well. You can opt for whole wheat or spinach tortillas for extra flavor and nutrition.

Chicken: I love using rotisserie chicken for ease! If you prefer, grill or bake chicken breast and season it with your choice of spices. If you’re vegetarian, try using chickpeas or tofu as a substitute.

Buffalo Wing Sauce: For those who like it milder, you can use a barbecue sauce instead. Homemade buffalo sauce can also be made using hot sauce mixed with melted butter.

Ranch Dressing: This adds creaminess. If you’re looking for a healthier option, you can use Greek yogurt mixed with herbs. Creamy blue cheese dressing is also a great alternative.

Lettuce: Shredded iceberg or romaine adds crunch. You could also use kale or spinach for a more nutritious touch.

What’s the Best Way to Keep Wraps from Falling Apart?

To prevent your wraps from falling apart, it’s important to roll them tightly. Here’s how:

• Warm tortillas: This makes them silky and easier to fold.
• Don’t overfill: Keep the filling modest, so it’s easier to manage.
• Fold properly: Tuck in the sides and roll tightly from one edge to the other. This keeps everything inside.
• Optional toasting: Toasting the wraps lightly in a skillet can help seal the edge and add a pleasant crunch.

With these tips, your Buffalo Chicken Wrap will be deliciously packed and ready to enjoy!

Buffalo Chicken Wrap

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
• 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
• 1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
• Optional: 1 tablespoon melted butter (to toss chicken)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How Much Time Will You Need?

This recipe takes about 20 minutes to prepare, including cooking the chicken if it’s raw. If you’re using pre-cooked chicken, it will only take about 10 minutes to assemble the wraps.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

If you have cooked chicken, dice it into bite-sized pieces. If starting with raw chicken, season it with salt and pepper. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let it cool for a few minutes, then dice it up.

2. Toss with Sauce:

In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with buffalo wing sauce. If you want a richer taste, mix the buffalo sauce with melted butter first, then add the chicken. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.

3. Warm the Tortillas:

Warm the tortillas slightly. You can do this in a skillet or microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them easier to roll without tearing.

4. Assemble the Wraps:

Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a few tablespoons of ranch dressing in the center of each tortilla. Then, layer shredded lettuce on top of the dressing.

5. Add Chicken:

Place the buffalo chicken mixture over the lettuce, spreading it evenly.

6. Roll It Up:

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and start rolling from one end to the other to form a wrap. Make sure to wrap it tightly so the filling stays inside.

7. Toast the Wrap (Optional):

If you like, you can toast the wraps in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. This step is optional but adds a nice texture.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve them immediately. You can add extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping. Enjoy your spicy, creamy, and crunchy Buffalo Chicken Wrap!

Can I Use Frozen Chicken in This Recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken! Just be sure to thaw it completely before cooking. The best way is to leave it in the fridge overnight, or you can use the quick-thaw method by placing the chicken in a sealed bag and soaking it in cold water for about an hour.

Can I Prepare the Wraps in Advance?

Absolutely! You can prepare the buffalo chicken mixture and sauce, then store them separately in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to eat, simply warm everything and assemble the wraps. Just keep the tortillas fresh by storing them in an airtight container.

How Do I Store Leftover Wraps?

If you have any leftover wraps, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in the refrigerator. They’ll stay good for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through.

Can I Make This Recipe Vegetarian?

Definitely! You can substitute the chicken with grilled veggies, tofu, or chickpeas tossed in buffalo sauce for that spicy kick. Just keep the rest of the ingredients the same, and you’ll have a delicious vegetarian wrap!
