Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped (about 10 oz)
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/3 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch, burrito size)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for toasting)
- Optional: avocado slices
- Optional: thinly sliced celery sticks
- Optional: blue cheese crumbles
- Optional: Greek yogurt (swap for ranch)
- Optional: vegan cheese and chicken (for plant-based version)
Instructions
- Place cooked chicken breast in a medium mixing bowl. Shred or chop into bite-sized pieces if needed. If using cold chicken, warm it for 30 seconds in the microwave.
- Pour buffalo sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
- Prepare fillings: shred lettuce, dice tomato, and thinly slice red onion (if using). Grate cheese if needed.
- Lay out tortillas on a clean surface. On each tortilla, layer about 1/2 cup buffalo chicken, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon ranch dressing.
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling burrito-style. Microwave tortillas for 10 seconds if stiff.
- Heat butter or oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place wraps seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove wraps from the pan, let cool for a minute, then slice in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately.
Notes
Don’t overstuff the wraps to prevent bursting. Warm tortillas before rolling for flexibility. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt. For gluten-free or low-carb, use alternative tortillas. For vegetarian, use plant-based chicken and cheese. Wraps can be made ahead and toasted just before serving. Let wraps cool before packing for lunchboxes to avoid sogginess.
