Servings: 4 wraps

Ingredients

For the Buffalo Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Buffalo Chicken

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface.
  2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of dressing down the center of each tortilla.
  3. Top each with a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture.
  4. Add shredded lettuce, celery, and carrots evenly over the chicken.
  5. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and green onions if desired.

Roll and Serve

  1. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
  2. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. For easier handling, you can wrap them in parchment paper.

Notes

For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt-based ranch dressing or swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or lettuce wraps. Make ahead by preparing the buffalo chicken mixture up to 2 days in advance.
