How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wraps
- Prepare the Buffalo Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the buffalo sauce. Toss until evenly coated.
- Warm the Tortillas
- Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds on each side, or microwave them for 10 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps
- Spread a tablespoon of ranch or blue cheese dressing down the center of each tortilla.
- Layer on shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and red onion (if using).
- Top with the buffalo chicken mixture and optional diced avocado.
- Wrap It Up
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the wraps in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions

- Add a small cup of celery sticks and extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Tips for the Best Buffalo Chicken Wraps
- Make Ahead: Prep the chicken and chop the veggies in advance for an even quicker assembly.
- Adjust the Heat: If you like it spicier, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the buffalo sauce. For less heat, mix the buffalo sauce with a little ranch.
- Use Whole Wheat Tortillas: For a healthier option, swap out the regular tortillas for whole wheat or low-carb versions.
- Grill the Wraps: After assembling, lightly grill the wraps in a skillet for a crispy exterior.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: Wrap the assembled wraps tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To Reheat: If you’d like a warm wrap, heat it on a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use chicken tenders instead of shredded chicken?
A: Absolutely! Breaded or grilled chicken tenders work perfectly—just coat them in buffalo sauce before assembling.
Q2: Can I make these wraps vegetarian?
A: Yes! Substitute the chicken with crispy tofu, chickpeas, or cauliflower bites tossed in buffalo sauce.
Q3: Can I freeze these wraps?
A: It’s best to freeze only the buffalo chicken portion. Once defrosted, assemble the wraps fresh for the best texture and flavor.
