What’s in a Buffalo Chicken Wrap?

Buffalo chicken is the hero here. It is moist, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and spicy enough to give, basically the best type of chicken filling for wraps. I am all about recipes that are flexible and you can easily swap for the ingredients.

Below are a couple of options to make the chicken filling.

Buffalo Chicken filling from scratch-

Boneless chicken breast ( you can swap it with chicken thighs as well) is first sliced into strips, seasoned, and then seared in a skillet for the perfect charred flavor. Quick marination ensures the chicken has the maximum flavour and stays juicy. Once it is cooked toss it with buffalo sauce.

Chicken seasoning has onion & garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Rotisserie/ Leftover Grilled Chicken for Buffalo wrap

Of course, we don’t always have the luxury of time. Say you want to make these wraps in between breaks on a busy day or you have some leftover grilled chicken in the fridge, bring it on.  

Shred and quickly toss the leftover chicken in a greased skillet just for 30 seconds. Then add hot sauce.

Another option is to use crispy chicken. Make it at home or get crispy chicken from the freezer section. Pop it in an air fryer or deep fry it. Then toss it in hot sauce.

Tortilla – Flour or whole wheat tortilla of at least 8 inches. A large tortilla would hold a good amount of filling.

Hot sauce- Frank’s hot sauce for the best flavour but any other hot sauce will work.

Ranch dressing- Tangy, creamy, and with the right amount of richness. It has Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and mayo. I found readymade ranch dressing is a bit too loose(liquid) for the wrap.

Veggies- Lots of options here. Mixed salad green, carrots, pepper, and sliced cucumber are to name a few. You can also add avocado slices. Tomatoes are also great, but only if you are consuming the wrap right away. Otherwise, tomatoes leave a lot of liquid and will turn the wrap soggy.

Start with warming tortillas. This will soften the tortillas and make them easy to fold. Then start with a spread of ranch dressing.

If you are going to consume the wraps later, it would be a good idea to place the lettuce first, top it with veggies, and chicken, and then drizzle ranch dressing on top. This would prevent the wrap from going soggy when stored longer.

Another way is to spread ranch dressing, followed by greens, veggies, and chicken. Fold 1 to 2 inches (from the left and right side) inwards. Then roll the bottom over the filling. Start rolling the wrap over the filling, pushing the filling inwards as you roll.

Variations

  1. Add some crumbled blue cheese to the ranch dressing for an interesting flavor twist. Cheddar cheese also works well here.
  2. To save time, use store-bought or leftover rotisserie chicken.
  3. If not lettuce and veggies, toss readymade coleslaw mix with prepared Ranch dressing and top it up with buffalo chicken.
