Description
Buffalo Chicken Wraps are a favorite for their mix of spicy, tangy, and creamy flavors. They’re perfect for a quick lunch, easy dinner, or a snack for sharing
Ingredients
- Chicken: Shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breast works great for convenience and flavor.
- Buffalo Sauce: Classic sauces like Frank’s RedHot are ideal, but you can experiment with other brands or homemade versions.
- Tortillas: Large, soft flour tortillas are the easiest to use and hold all the tasty fillings.
- Lettuce: Crisp romaine or iceberg lettuce adds a refreshing crunch and keeps the wrap from feeling too heavy.
- Cheese: Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack adds creaminess and enhances the overall flavor.
- Veggies: Optional but tasty—try sliced red onions, shredded carrots, or diced tomatoes to add more texture and nutrients.
Dressings
Cool down the heat with one of these creamy dressings:
- Ranch Dressing: A classic choice that pairs beautifully with the spicy Buffalo flavor.
- Blue Cheese Dressing: For those who love a bold, tangy kick, blue cheese dressing is perfect.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Cook the chicken if you’re starting with raw pieces. Grill, bake, or sauté until fully cooked.
- Shred the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the chicken with Buffalo sauce in a skillet over medium heat until it’s warm and fully coated.
Step 2: Build the Wrap
- Warm up the tortillas in a skillet or microwave so they’re soft and easy to fold.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Add a generous layer of lettuce, followed by the Buffalo chicken, shredded cheese, and any extra veggies.
- Drizzle on your favorite dressing, making sure every bite will be packed with flavor.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it up tightly to create the wrap. Secure it with a toothpick if needed to keep it from unrolling.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lettuce and good-quality chicken make a big difference in the taste and texture.
- Adjust the spice: Add more or less Buffalo sauce depending on your spice tolerance.
- Try healthier options: Use whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber or opt for lettuce wraps to reduce carbs.
- Warm the tortillas: This keeps them pliable and prevents them from tearing when you roll them.
- Don’t overfill: While it’s tempting to load up on fillings, too much can make the wrap hard to roll and eat.
