Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 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
For the Wrap
- 2 large tortillas
Instructions
- Cook and prepare chicken: If using frozen chicken tenders, cook them according to package instructions until thoroughly done. Alternatively, you can use warm or chilled leftover cooked chicken. Once cooked, lightly chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine filling ingredients: Add the chopped lettuce, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl with the chicken. Gently toss all the ingredients together to coat the chicken evenly with the sauces while keeping the lettuce crisp.
- Lay out the tortilla: Place one large tortilla flat on a plate or cutting board. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into the center, leaving about a 2-inch border around all edges to make wrapping easier and prevent filling spillage.
- Begin folding the wrap: Pick up the bottom edge of the tortilla and fold it up over the filling. This initial fold helps contain the filling and prevents it from falling out as you eat.
- Fold the sides: Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla toward the center, partially overlapping the bottom fold to secure the contents.
- Roll the wrap: Holding the folded sides in place, roll the tortilla away from you snugly but without squeezing out the filling. Seal the seam underneath to maintain the wrap’s shape.
- Serve: Enjoy the buffalo chicken wrap immediately with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping. It can be served warm or cold based on your preference.
Notes
- These wraps can be served either warm or cold depending on your taste preferences.
- For a variation in flavor, substitute blue cheese dressing in place of ranch dressing.
- Leftover wraps can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
