Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup Frank’s Buffalo Wings sauce
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Wrap Fillings
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup Ranch dressing
- 2 cups romaine lettuce (or iceberg lettuce), chopped
- ½ cup carrot, shredded
- ½ of a medium red onion, cut into half moons
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prep the chicken: Cut the chicken breast into long, thin strips to ensure even cooking and better absorption of the marinade.
- Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, Frank’s buffalo wing sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Toss the chicken strips in this mixture and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 24 hours for more intense flavor.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Prepare the wraps: While the chicken cooks, lay out the flour tortillas on a plate. Evenly distribute the chopped lettuce, ranch dressing, shredded carrots, sliced red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese over each tortilla.
- Assemble the wraps: Place several cooked chicken strips down the center of each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito, folding in the sides to secure the filling.
- Serve: Serve the Buffalo Chicken Wraps immediately with extra hot sauce or ranch dressing on the side if desired. Enjoy the bold, spicy flavors in a convenient handheld wrap!
Notes
- When craving something bold and flavorful, these Buffalo Chicken Wraps deliver the perfect combination of spice and creaminess.
- Marinating the chicken longer will deepen the flavor of the buffalo sauce in the meat.
- Use romaine or iceberg lettuce for a nice crunch and freshness in the wrap.
- Feel free to substitute ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a more authentic buffalo wing flavor.
- These wraps can be customized by adding celery sticks or avocado slices for additional texture and taste.
