Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Buffalo chicken wraps take everything great about buffalo wings — spicy, tangy sauce and cooling ranch — and turn it into a portable, no-fork-needed lunch. Pan-seared chicken gets tossed in buffalo sauce and rolled up with crisp lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese, making this one of the fastest ways to satisfy a wing craving on a weeknight.

Instructions
- Season the chicken strips with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through (165°F/74°C internal).
- Reduce heat to low, add 1/3 cup of the buffalo sauce to the skillet, and toss the chicken to coat evenly. Remove from heat.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spread a spoonful of ranch or blue cheese dressing down the center of each.
- Layer with lettuce, buffalo chicken, cheese, tomato and celery. Drizzle with the remaining buffalo sauce.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.
Tips for success
- Warming the tortillas for 15-20 seconds makes them far less likely to crack when rolled.
- Shred leftover rotisserie chicken and toss it in warm buffalo sauce for an even faster version.
- Wrap tightly in foil or parchment if packing for lunch — it holds together much better.
- Swap ranch for blue cheese dressing for a more classic wing-night flavor.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make buffalo chicken wraps ahead of time?
You can cook the buffalo chicken up to 3 days ahead and store separately; assemble the wraps fresh so the tortilla doesn't get soggy.
How do I make this less spicy?
Mix the buffalo sauce with a little extra ranch dressing or melted butter to mellow the heat while keeping the flavor.
Can I use a low-carb wrap?
Yes, any large low-carb or whole wheat tortilla works well as a swap without changing the method.
What sides pair well with buffalo chicken wraps?
Celery sticks with ranch, a simple side salad, or baked sweet potato fries all pair nicely.
