Classic Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Growing up right outside of Buffalo, my husband approves of these buffalo chicken wraps, made with all the traditional accoutrements like buffalo sauce, lettuce, tomato, blue cheese or ranch dressing, and of course, juicy shredded chicken!
Servings: 4 wraps
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1.75-2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
- ½ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup buffalo sauce like Frank’s Original Red Hot
- 1 medium tomato diced
- 1 small head iceberg lettuce thinly sliced
- 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 17-22 minutes until chicken registers at least 165 degrees in the thickest part.
- Let chicken rest at room temperature for 5 minutes. Use a fork and knife to shred and pull apart chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Transfer chicken to a bowl. Use paper towels to gently squeeze out extra juice, so that the chicken juices don’t make the wraps soggy.
- Toss buffalo sauce into the chicken. Set aside.
- Add a small handful of lettuce to the middle of a tortilla, then use tongs to add a scoop of chicken.
- Finally, add 1-2 tablespoons of tomato, a sprinkle of onion, about 2 tablespoons of cheese, and 1-2 tablespoons of dressing. Finish with a drizzle more of buffalo sauce if desired. Don’t overstuff your wrap or you won’t be able to close it! Exact quantities of each ingredient depend on your preference.
- Making sure the fillings are in the center of the wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Fold up the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, holding the sides in place. Rolling the wrap away from you, tuck the filling in as you go. Aim for a tight roll, but not so tight that it tears the tortilla. Fold the side flaps inward before you finish rolling. See the video below for visual instructions! Repeat for other wraps. Enjoy!

Notes
- You may have leftover lettuce, tomato and chicken for more wraps depending on the exact size of your tortillas and the ingredient ratios you like in each wrap!
- I look for roughly 1.75 pounds of chicken breast for 4 large wraps. You may have some extra chicken based on the size of your tortillas.
- Feel free to adjust ingredient quantities depending on your preference. For instance if you like a lot of ranch, make sure you have extras on hand!
- Feel free to add blue cheese crumbles instead of the cheddar cheese.
- Of course, you can use precooked rotisserie chicken or crispy chicken tenders if preferred.
