Buffalo Chicken Wrap

Easy Buffalo chicken wrap made with tender chicken strips, spicy hot sauce, crisp lettuce, carrots, avocado, and cheddar cheese wrapped in soft tortillas. A quick 30-minute meal perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep, with bold flavor and creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup Frank’s Hot Sauce
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Pinch of salt
• 4 large flour tortillas
• ½ cup blue cheese or ranch dressing
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• ½ cup shredded carrot
• ½ avocado, sliced
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
2. Marinate: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Add the chicken strips, tossing to coat. Marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Cook the chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
4. Assemble the wraps: Spread each tortilla with a thin layer of blue cheese or ranch dressing. Layer with lettuce, shredded carrot, avocado slices, and cheddar cheese.
5. Finish and serve: Place a few strips of cooked chicken in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly like a burrito. Serve immediately with extra hot sauce or dressing on the side.

Tips

• Marinate the chicken overnight for maximum flavor.
• Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to make wrapping easier.
• Slice chicken evenly to ensure quick, even cooking.
• For crispier chicken, sear the strips in batches without overcrowding the pan.

Variations and Substitutions

• Protein: Swap chicken for grilled shrimp, turkey strips, or crispy tofu.
• Tortillas: Use whole wheat, spinach, or low-carb tortillas for variety.
• Dressing: Substitute ranch or blue cheese with Greek yogurt-based dressing for a lighter option.
• Add-ins: Include sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, or red onions for extra crunch.
• Cheese: Try pepper jack or mozzarella instead of cheddar.
