Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Cooked chicken: Shredded or chopped (rotisserie works great)
  • Buffalo sauce: Your favorite brand or homemade
  • Butter (optional): To mellow the sauce and add richness
  • Flour tortillas: Large, burrito-size for easy wrapping
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing: For drizzling
  • Shredded lettuce: Romaine or iceberg
  • Celery: Finely chopped for crunch
  • Carrots: Shredded or matchstick
  • Red onion: Thinly sliced (optional)
  • Cheese: Crumbled blue cheese or shredded cheddar/Monterey Jack
  • Avocado: Sliced (optional, for creaminess)
  • Lime: For a fresh squeeze
  • Salt and pepper: To taste
  • Olive oil: For warming tortillas or searing wraps

Instructions

  • Warm the chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce. If you like it richer, stir in a knob of butter until melted. Simmer 2–3 minutes until the chicken is hot and evenly coated. Taste and adjust heat with more sauce, or mellow with a splash of water.
  • Prep the veggies: Shred the lettuce, finely chop the celery, and slice the carrots and red onion. Keep them dry for the best crunch.
  • Warm the tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla 15–20 seconds per side until pliable. Stack and cover with a towel to keep soft.
  • Assemble the wraps: Lay a warm tortilla on a board. Add a bed of lettuce, then a scoop of buffalo chicken. Top with celery, carrots, and red onion. Add cheese, drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing, and finish with avocado and a squeeze of lime.
  • Fold and roll: Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up, keeping it tight so the filling stays put.
  • Optional sear: For a toasty exterior, brush the wrap lightly with olive oil and sear seam-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
  • Serve: Slice in half on the bias. Add extra dressing or buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.
