Smoked paprika
Garlic powder
Salt
Large flour tortillas
Bleu cheese or ranch dressing

directions

Marinate the chicken. In a bowl whisk together oil, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss the chicken strips in the mixture and let marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 6 hours).
Cook the chicken. Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high. Add the chicken strips and cook 4–5 minutes, until no longer pink.
Assemble the wraps. Lay out tortillas. Spread a thin layer of bleu cheese or ranch dressing. Layer lettuce, shredded carrot, avocado slices, and cheddar. Add chicken in a line down the center.
Roll and serve. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly like a burrito. Slice in half and enjoy immediately, or wrap for later.

FAQs

H3 components

Can I make this wrap vegetarian?

Yes—substitute grilled tofu or chickpeas tossed in buffalo sauce in place of chicken, or use roasted cauliflower for a flavorful twist.

How spicy is this wrap?

The heat depends on the buffalo sauce. Use a milder variant or reduce the amount to suit your taste.

Can I freeze the wraps?

Freezing is not recommended due to the vegetables and avocado, which can become mushy when thawed.

What other meats can I use?

Grilled turkey, pulled pork, or shredded chicken all work well with the buffalo flavor profile.

Is there a healthier version?

Use low‑fat ranch dressing or Greek yogurt dressing, whole wheat tortillas, and reduce cheese. Skip avocado if limiting fats.

How do I prevent tortillas from falling apart?

Warm tortillas slightly before filling—either in a skillet or microwave—for better flexibility and fewer cracks.

Can I prepare this in advance?

Yes, cook and marinate the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate. Assemble wraps the morning you intend to serve for freshness.

What dressings pair well besides ranch?

Blue cheese, yogurt-cilantro sauce, or a chipotle-lime crema also complement the buffalo flavors nicely.

Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely! Bell peppers, red onion, cucumber, or shredded cabbage add crunch and freshness.

How do I adapt this for a crowd?

Double or triple the chicken and toppings. Keep components in separate bowls and let guests assemble their own wraps buffet-style.
