Trust me, this wrap is a fun and easy meal for lunch or dinner. I love making it on busy days when I crave something delicious and quick to grab. Yum!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Flour Tortillas: I prefer using large flour tortillas for their softness and versatility. If you’re looking for a healthier option, whole wheat or spinach tortillas are great substitutes!
Chicken: Rotisserie chicken is my go-to for this wrap. It’s tender and saves time. You can also use grilled chicken breast or even shredded tofu for a vegetarian twist.
Buffalo Wing Sauce: Frank’s RedHot is a classic choice. If you want a milder wrap, consider using barbecue sauce or a homemade sauce with less heat. Adjust to your spice preference!
Blue Cheese: Love the tangy kick of blue cheese, but you can swap it for feta or omit it if you’re not a fan. Ranch dressing can also be used instead for creaminess.
Ranch Dressing: This adds creaminess to balance the heat. You can make your own dressing or use Greek yogurt mixed with herbs as a healthier substitute.
How Do I Make Sure My Wrap Doesn’t Fall Apart?
Rolling the wrap tightly is key to keeping it together. Here’s how to do it right:
- Start by placing your fillings in the center of the tortilla, leaving enough space around the edges.
- Fold in the sides before rolling to secure your fillings.
- Roll from the bottom up, keeping it tight. This will help contain everything inside!
- If you want an even sturdier wrap, grill it after rolling. This seals the edges as well.
With these tips and tricks, you’ll have a delicious Buffalo Chicken Wrap that’s easy to eat! Enjoy your meal!

This delicious Buffalo Chicken Wrap takes about 10 minutes to prepare and can be ready to eat in just 1-2 minutes if you choose to grill it. It’s a quick and satisfying meal option for lunch or dinner!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preparing the Chicken:
Start by placing the shredded or chopped cooked chicken in a medium bowl. Pour the buffalo wing sauce over it and toss everything together until all the chicken is well coated. This will add a great kick to your wrap!
2. Assembling the Wrap:
Now, lay your flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Make sure they are spread out to make wrapping easier. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla, ensuring you leave some space around the edges for rolling.
3. Adding the Toppings:
On top of the chicken, sprinkle the shredded lettuce and crumbled blue cheese. If you want some extra crunch, feel free to add diced celery or cucumber as well. Finally, drizzle the ranch dressing over the toppings for creamy goodness.
4. Rolling the Wrap:
To wrap it up, carefully fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll from the bottom up tightly, keeping the fillings secure inside. If you happen to have a panini press or a skillet, this is the perfect time to warm it up!
5. Grilling the Wrap:
For those who enjoy a warm wrap, grill it in a panini press or a skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side, just until the tortillas are golden brown and heated through. This will also help seal the wrap.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Once grilled, slice each wrap in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy, creamy, and crunchy Buffalo Chicken Wrap! It’s sure to be a hit!
Can I Use a Different Type of Tortilla?
Absolutely! You can use whole wheat, spinach, or even corn tortillas if you prefer. Just keep in mind that the taste and texture will vary slightly with different types.
What If I Don’t Have Blue Cheese?
No problem! If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, you can substitute it with feta cheese or simply leave it out. You can also add extra ranch or other favorite toppings!
How Can I Store Leftover Wraps?
To store leftovers, wrap each Buffalo Chicken Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
Can I Prepare the Chicken in Advance?
Definitely! You can cook and shred the chicken a day in advance. Just mix it with the buffalo sauce right before assembling the wraps to keep everything fresh and flavorful!
