A fast and flavorful spicy wrap recipe using shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, crunchy veggies, and creamy dressing, perfect for busy days and quick meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) cooked chicken, shredded (leftover rotisserie or grilled chicken)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) buffalo hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) ranch or blue cheese dressing (dairy-free optional)
  • 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (60g) shredded carrots (optional)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil or butter (for warming tortillas)

Instructions

  1. Shred about 2 cups (300g) of cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using fingers or forks (2-3 minutes).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, pour 1/3 cup (80ml) buffalo hot sauce over the shredded chicken and gently toss until lightly coated (1-2 minutes).
  3. Thinly slice 2 celery stalks and finely chop 2 green onions. If using, shred 1/2 cup (60g) of carrots. Combine in a small bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper (about 5 minutes).
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet on medium and add 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil or butter. Warm each tortilla for 30 seconds on each side until soft and slightly golden. Alternatively, microwave for 15-20 seconds (3-4 minutes total).
  5. Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread about 1 tablespoon (15ml) ranch or blue cheese dressing in the center. Add a generous scoop of buffalo chicken, followed by a handful of the prepared veggies. Avoid overfilling (2-3 minutes per wrap).
  6. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from one end to the other. Secure with a toothpick or wrap in parchment paper if desired.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and fresh, or wrap and refrigerate for later.

Notes

Use less buffalo sauce to avoid soggy wraps. Warm tortillas before assembling for better pliability. Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat, gluten-free wraps, or large lettuce leaves for dietary preferences. Mix buffalo sauce with melted butter to reduce heat. Add extras like crispy bacon, avocado, or cucumber slices for variation.
