Ingredients
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- ½ cup Buffalo sauce (adjust to taste, ¼ to ½ cup)
Wrap Assembly
- Shredded lettuce, to taste
- Ranch dressing, to taste
- Shredded cheese, to taste
- 2 burrito-size flour tortillas (can use 3 for smaller wraps)
Instructions
- Prepare Buffalo Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce, adding between ¼ to ½ cup of sauce depending on your preferred spice level. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
- Lay Out Tortillas: Arrange 2 to 3 burrito-size flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Using 2 tortillas will create fuller wraps while 3 will make smaller, more manageable portions. Divide the Buffalo chicken evenly among the tortillas.
- Add Ranch Dressing: Drizzle each portion with your desired amount of ranch dressing to balance the heat and add creaminess.
- Top with Cheese and Lettuce: Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the chicken and ranch, then add shredded lettuce for a fresh crunch.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly to enclose all ingredients. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier wrap, increase the Buffalo sauce or add hot sauce to taste.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves.
- Use cooked rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy shredded chicken option.
- Optional: Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling for a more pliable wrap.
- This recipe serves 2 but can be easily doubled for more servings.
