Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (use your favorite brand)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil for crisping
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the buffalo wing sauce and melted butter. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds per side until warm and slightly pliable. Remove and set aside. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing down the center. Top with a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture.
- Layer the remaining ingredients over the chicken: Add lettuce, shredded cheese, and red onion slices, if using.
- Fold the wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then tightly roll the wrap from the bottom up.
- Crisp the wrap (optional but recommended): Return the assembled wrap to the skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For an extra spicy kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce mixture.
- If you prefer grilled chicken, marinate chicken breasts in a small amount of buffalo sauce before grilling, then shred and toss with the remaining sauce.
- Make ahead: Assemble the wraps but skip the crisping step. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Crisp just before serving.
