Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, plus extra for serving
For the Wraps
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
To Serve
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving
- Extra buffalo sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for faster and even cooking. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce over the chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Prepare the Wrap Fillings: While the chicken cooks, prepare the vegetables and toppings: shred the lettuce, dice the celery and carrots, and crumble the blue cheese if using.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas gently according to package instructions until soft and pliable. Lay each tortilla flat, then evenly distribute the buffalo chicken strips in the center. Top each with shredded lettuce, diced celery, carrots, and a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles if desired.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the fillings. For easier serving or presentation, slice each wrap in half at an angle.
- Serve: Serve the wraps immediately with extra buffalo sauce and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Enjoy while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Swap blue cheese for feta or omit entirely for a milder flavor.
- Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker meal—just toss with buffalo sauce and assemble.
- For extra crunch, add thinly sliced red onion or a handful of chopped tomatoes.
- Make these wraps ahead, but store the fillings and tortillas separately to avoid sogginess. Assemble just before eating.
- Spice level is adjustable—choose a mild or extra hot buffalo sauce based on preference.
