Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wrap (Printable)

Spicy buffalo chicken layered with cheese, veggies, and ranch dressing in a warm folded tortilla wrap.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded (approximately 8.8 oz)
02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (1/2 cup)
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Wraps & Dairy

04 - 4 large flour tortillas (10 inch diameter)
05 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2.1 oz)
06 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing
07 - 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (2.1 oz)

→ Vegetables

08 - 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
09 - 1/2 cup diced celery (about 1 stalk)
10 - 1/2 cup diced tomato
11 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

→ Optional

12 - 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
13 - Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

# Directions:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and melted butter in a mixing bowl until evenly coated. Warm the mixture in a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to heat through.
02 - Lay one flour tortilla flat. Using a knife, make a single cut from the center to the edge to create a radius cut.
03 - Visualize the tortilla divided into four quarters. Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese on the first quarter. Layer the buffalo chicken mixture on the second quarter. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on the third quarter. Arrange shredded lettuce, diced celery, diced tomato, and sliced red onion on the fourth quarter.
04 - Drizzle ranch dressing over the vegetable quarter. Add crumbled blue cheese or an additional drizzle of buffalo sauce if desired.
05 - Starting with the cream cheese quarter, fold the tortilla over itself quarter by quarter to form a layered triangle shape.
06 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded wrap seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
07 - Repeat the assembly and cooking process for remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve the wraps warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 25 minutes, which means weeknight dinner without the takeout guilt.
  • The buffalo-cheddar-ranch combination hits every flavor note your mouth didn't know it craved at the same time.
  • You can prep everything the night before and just assemble and pan-fry in the morning for a portable lunch.
02 -
  • The cream cheese is your structural hero—don't skip it or use too little, or your fold will fall apart and you'll have a delicious but heartbreaking mess on your hands.
  • If your tortillas are cold from the fridge, microwave them for 10 seconds before assembling so they're pliable enough to fold without cracking.
03 -
  • If your buffalo sauce seems thin, add a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water to thicken it slightly so it clings to the chicken instead of pooling at the bottom of the pan.
  • The non-stick skillet is not optional here—regular pans will tear your tortilla and stick to the cheese in ways that make you question your cooking choices.
