  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps

Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wrap Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Blue cheese or Ranch dressing
  • 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into several long, thin strips to ensure even cooking and easy wrapping later.
  2. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Frank’s Hot Sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Add the chicken strips and coat them evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or preferably up to 24 hours for more flavor penetration.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 4-5 minutes until no longer pink inside and cooked through, flipping as needed.
  4. Prepare the tortillas: While the chicken cooks, lay out the flour tortillas on a plate. Spread each with a thin layer of blue cheese or ranch dressing to add creaminess and balance the heat.
  5. Assemble the wraps: On each tortilla, layer chopped romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, sliced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dressing.
  6. Add the chicken and wrap: Place several cooked buffalo chicken strips down the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito, folding in the sides to secure the filling.
  7. Serve: Serve the Buffalo Chicken Wraps immediately with extra hot sauce or dressing on the side if desired, and enjoy a delicious, spicy, and fresh meal.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for longer if you prefer stronger flavors.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make this wrap gluten-free.
  • Substitute blue cheese dressing with ranch for milder taste.
  • Add celery slices for extra crunch if desired.
  • Cook chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
