The Buffalo chicken wrap takes all the flavors of classic Buffalo wings—spicy chicken, cool dressing, and crisp veggies—and wraps them up in a portable, handheld tortilla. It’s the perfect lunch, easy dinner, or game day meal.
Tender chicken is tossed in fiery Buffalo sauce, then wrapped up with creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and sharp red onions. Every bite is a perfect combination of spicy, cool, and crunchy. This recipe is quick, customizable, and absolutely delicious.
Instructions
Cook the Chicken
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or dice into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Buffalo Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Buffalo sauce and melted butter. Add the diced chicken and toss to coat generously.
Warm the Tortillas
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable. This prevents cracking when wrapping.
Assemble the Wraps
Lay a warm tortilla on a work surface. Spread a tablespoon of ranch or blue cheese dressing down the center. Top with a portion of Buffalo chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and any other desired toppings.
Wrap It Up
Fold the sides inward, then fold the bottom edge up and over the filling, rolling tightly away from you to form a secure wrap.
Slice and Serve
Cut the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately with extra Buffalo sauce, celery sticks, and dressing on the side.
Pro-Tips for Buffalo Chicken Wrap Perfection
- Use Rotisserie Chicken: For an even quicker meal, use shredded rotisserie chicken and toss with the Buffalo sauce.
- Don’t Oversaturate: Toss the chicken in sauce, but don’t let it sit too long or it can become soggy.
- Warm Tortillas: Always warm tortillas before wrapping—they’re much more pliable and less likely to tear.
- Don’t Overfill: Too many fillings make wrapping difficult and can cause the wrap to burst.
- Wrap Tightly: A tight wrap keeps everything inside. Tuck and roll firmly.
- Make It a Meal: Serve with celery sticks and extra dressing for that authentic wing experience.
- Customize the Heat: Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to your spice preference.
- Add Cheese: Crumbled blue cheese or shredded cheddar are delicious additions.
This Buffalo Chicken Wrap is spicy, creamy, and perfectly portable—absolutely delicious.
