Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup diced celery
- ½ cup diced carrots
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- ¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and season them with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken strips for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Toss with Buffalo Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the buffalo sauce over it and toss well to coat all the pieces evenly. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Warm the Tortillas: Slightly warm the tortillas to make them soft and pliable, which makes wrapping easier and prevents tearing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Place a portion of the buffalo chicken in the center of each warmed tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced celery, diced carrots, and blue cheese crumbles if using.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the toppings for added creaminess and flavor balance.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly to encase all the fillings securely.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce or dressing on the side if desired for dipping.
Notes
- To keep the wraps fresh, prepare just before serving to avoid sogginess.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the heat level.
- Serve with celery sticks and carrot sticks on the side for a classic buffalo chicken pairing.
