Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken rotisserie, poached, or well-drained canned
  • 3 tbsp buffalo hot sauce Frank's RedHot recommended
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large flour tortillas, 10-inch
  • 1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, halved and seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 tbsp ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Dry Skillet for Warming Tortillas
  • Sharp Knife and Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Whisk buffalo sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder in a bowl. Toss chicken until fully coated.
  2. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 20 seconds per side until pliable.
  3. Spread ranch dressing across the center of each tortilla. Layer lettuce, then buffalo chicken, celery, tomato, and carrots in a tall compact mound.
  4. Fold sides in, roll firmly from the bottom up, and rest seam-side down 20 to 30 seconds before cutting diagonally. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Whisk butter into the sauce before adding chicken - it rounds the heat and helps the sauce cling properly.
  • Remove tomato seeds before adding to prevent moisture from soaking through the tortilla.
  • Keep filling tall and centered rather than spread wide for a wrap that holds its roll when cut.
  • Store buffalo chicken filling separately in the fridge for up to 3 days and assemble wraps fresh each time.
  • For a dairy-free option, replace ranch with Greek yogurt thinned with lemon juice and garlic powder.
