Buffalo Chicken Wraps Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked and chopped chicken
- 1/2 cup washed and chopped lettuce
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (plus more for dipping)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If using frozen chicken tenders, cook them thoroughly according to the package instructions. Alternatively, warm or chilled leftover cooked chicken works well. Once cooked, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix the Filling: Add the chopped lettuce, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl with the chicken. Toss gently to combine all ingredients while keeping the lettuce crisp and intact.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a large tortilla flat on a plate or cutting board. Spoon the chicken mixture into the center, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges to make wrapping easier and prevent spillage.
- Fold the Bottom Edge: Pick up the bottom edge of the tortilla and fold it over the filling firmly. This fold helps keep the contents secure during rolling.
- Fold the Sides: Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla toward the center, partially overlapping the bottom fold to enclose the filling.
- Roll the Wrap: While holding the folded sides in place, roll the tortilla away from you to create a snug wrap. Avoid wrapping too tight to prevent squeezing out the filling. Seal the seam underneath to maintain the shape.
- Serve: Serve the Buffalo Chicken Wrap immediately with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping. They can be enjoyed warm or cold according to your preference.
Notes
- This wrap can be enjoyed warm or cold based on your preference.
- For a different flavor profile, substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing.
- Use warm chicken for a more melty, gooey cheese texture if desired.
- Leftover wraps can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
