A DELICIOUS CHICKEN WRAP

I love myself a good wrap recipe. They are usually easy to whip up and I usually always have ingredients on hand to make one. These Buffalo Chicken Wraps are some of my favorites! I’m not against spicy at all but the sauce on these really mellows the heat a little and makes the flavor just that much better.

TIPS AND TRICKS ON MAKING A BUFFALO CHICKEN WRAP:

  • I like to use Franks Buffalo Hot Sauce in this recipe, but you can use your favorite hot sauce.
  • Try switching out the blue cheese dressing with ranch dressing.
  • You can shred your own lettuce or buy the pre-packaged shredded lettuce to use.
  • I use thin sliced chicken breasts for this, you can purchase them this way or you can cut a larger chicken breast in half. It just cooks up much faster.
  • Colby-Jack cheese is used, but you can use your favorite cheese.
  • Any type of tortilla will work for this recipe. There are so many options these. days: wheat, low carb, spinach, gluten-free or sun-dried tomato also work.
  • I like too slightly warm the tortillas before filling, this makes them easier to fold.
  • Burrito sized tortillas are used for this but you could certainly use other sizes depending on how you want to serve this.
