Wrap Components:
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tbsp ranch dressing
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and drizzle olive oil to create a light coating.
- Toss shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, ensuring each strand is evenly coated with zesty seasoning.
- Sauté the seasoned chicken mixture in the skillet for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to heat thoroughly and develop robust flavors.
- Briefly warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds to enhance flexibility.
- Layer each tortilla with a generous bed of shredded lettuce, creating a crisp foundation for the wrap.
- Distribute the heated buffalo chicken across the lettuce, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent flavor in each bite.
- Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over the chicken, adding a tangy and creamy dimension to the wrap.
- Drizzle ranch dressing in a zigzag pattern, providing a cool contrast to the spicy buffalo chicken.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, adding a fresh, sharp accent to the wrap.
- Carefully roll the tortilla, tucking in the sides to create a tight, secure wrap that prevents ingredients from spilling.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately while the chicken remains warm and the tortilla is soft.
Notes
- Spice Level Customization: Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to dial heat up or down, catering to personal spice tolerance without compromising flavor profile.
- Protein Flexibility: Swap chicken with pulled pork, tofu, or shredded jackfruit for diverse dietary preferences while maintaining classic buffalo seasoning.
- Make-Ahead Strategy: Prepare seasoned chicken and chop ingredients in advance, storing separately to quickly assemble wraps during busy weeknights or meal prep sessions.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Replace flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or gluten-free wraps to accommodate wheat-sensitive individuals without sacrificing texture and taste.
