Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
• 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce
• 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
• Extra ranch dressing, for drizzling
• Extra buffalo sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, toss the cooked chicken with buffalo wing sauce and ranch dressing until evenly coated.

Step 2

Lay each tortilla flat. Layer with lettuce, then buffalo ranch chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and red onion (if using).

Step 3

Drizzle with extra ranch and buffalo sauce if desired.

Step 4

Fold in the sides and roll up each tortilla tightly to form a wrap.

Step 5

For a warm, crispy finish, toast wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure your wrap stays together, be careful not to overfill the tortillas. When toasting, always start with the seam-side down to seal the wrap effectively. This prevents the melted cheese and buffalo sauce from leaking out during the first few bites.

Cooked chicken breast is ideal for this wrap. You can use rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or even crispy chicken tenders for added texture and crunch.

Simply substitute regular flour tortillas with gluten-free alternatives. Most grocery stores carry various gluten-free tortilla options that work wonderfully in this wrap.

Consider adding sliced avocado, fresh tomato, or crispy bacon for extra flavor. You can also swap lettuce for spinach or use blue cheese crumbles instead of cheddar for a different taste profile.
