Ingredients

Here is everything you need to make these delicious Buffalo Chicken Wraps. I have included simple notes to help you along

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)

These ingredients are simple, easy to find, and you can swap items to match your taste or pantry availability

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken
   If using cooked chicken, shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a bowl and mix with the buffalo sauce until well coated.
2. Prep the veggies
   Wash and shred the lettuce, julienne the carrots, and thinly slice the cucumber. Set aside.
3. Warm the tortillas
   Lightly heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more flexible.
4. Assemble the wraps
   Lay a tortilla flat. Add a portion of buffalo chicken in the center. Top with lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and any optional toppings. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
5. Roll and secure
   Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll tightly from the bottom up.
6. Serve
   Cut in half if desired and serve immediately. These wraps are also great to pack for lunch or a picnic.

Tips for Success

• Adjust the spice: Start with less buffalo sauce if you prefer a milder flavor and add more to taste.
• Keep veggies crisp: Prepare the vegetables just before assembling to prevent sogginess.
• Use warm tortillas: Warming the tortillas slightly makes them easier to roll without tearing.
• Even filling distribution: Place the chicken and veggies evenly to ensure every bite has a perfect balance of flavors.
• Optional add-ons: Try adding shredded cheese, avocado slices, or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and texture.

These tips will help you make wraps that are flavorful, fresh, and perfectly balanced every time

Variations & Substitutions

You can easily customize these Buffalo Chicken Wraps to suit your taste or dietary needs

• Veggie swaps: Add bell peppers, red cabbage, or avocado slices for extra crunch and nutrition
• Sauce options: Replace buffalo sauce with BBQ sauce, sriracha, or a milder hot sauce

Storage & Reheating

• Refrigeration: Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate if possible to prevent sogginess.
• Freezing: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the chicken filling separately for up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat before assembling.
• Reheating: If you stored the chicken filling, gently reheat in the microwave or on the stove until warm. Then assemble your wrap with fresh veggies and dressing.
• Tips for freshness: Add crunchy veggies like lettuce or cucumber just before serving to maintain texture.
