Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup Frank’s Hot Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Wrap Fillings
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup Blue cheese or Ranch dressing
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup carrot, shredded
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Slice chicken: Slice chicken breast into several long, thin strips to allow even cooking and marinate penetration.
- Prepare marinade and marinate chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Frank’s Hot Sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes or refrigerate up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
- Cook chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in the center and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Prepare tortillas and fillings: While the chicken cooks, lay tortillas on a plate. Spread a thin layer of blue cheese or ranch dressing over each tortilla. Then layer chopped romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, sliced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Assemble wraps: Distribute cooked chicken strips evenly down the center of each prepared tortilla. Fold the sides tightly and roll the tortillas like a burrito to enclose the filling securely.
- Serve: Serve wraps immediately with extra hot sauce or dressing on the side, if desired. Enjoy this flavorful and easy-to-make Buffalo Chicken Wrap!
Notes
- Marinating chicken for longer enhances the buffalo flavor and tenderness.
- Substitute gluten-free tortillas if needed for a gluten-free option.
- Blue cheese dressing adds a classic Buffalo wing flavor, but ranch dressing is a milder substitute.
- Adding avocado contributes creaminess and healthy fats.
- Use fresh veggies for crunch and freshness.
- Can be served warm or at room temperature.
