What Makes These Wraps Special?

Buffalo chicken wraps are all about contrast—the spicy kick of hot sauce combined with cool, creamy dressing, and the crunch of fresh veggies wrapped in a warm tortilla. Whether served cold or warm, they’re incredibly flavorful and can be made with rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or crispy tenders. They’re great for a handheld meal or even cut in half and served as appetizers.

Cooking Time

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes (if cooking chicken)
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 wraps

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
¼ cup buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
Optional: sliced red onions, avocado, jalapeños

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

In a medium bowl, toss the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce until fully coated. You can use store-bought rotisserie chicken, leftover grilled chicken, or quickly pan-fry raw chicken breasts if needed.

2. Warm the Tortillas

Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, or microwave for 15 seconds, just until pliable.

3. Assemble the Wraps

Lay out each tortilla. Start by spreading 1–2 tablespoons of ranch or blue cheese dressing down the center. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by buffalo chicken, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and any extra toppings you like.

4. Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a wrap. Slice in half if desired.

5. Serve

Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper to enjoy later. These are great served warm or cold!

Variations

Extra Spicy: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or include sliced jalapeños.
Grilled Option: Grill the whole wrap in a panini press or skillet for a crispy exterior.
Low-Carb: Use a low-carb tortilla or wrap in lettuce leaves.
Vegetarian: Swap chicken with crispy buffalo cauliflower bites.
