What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 3 tablespoons buffalo hot sauce
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Toss the Chicken
Place shredded cooked chicken in a microwave-safe bowl and toss with buffalo hot sauce until well coated. Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds until heated through and steaming hot.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds until pliable and soft.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Lay warm tortillas flat and spread one tablespoon of ranch dressing over each. Pile buffalo chicken in the center of each tortilla then top with a generous handful of shredded lettuce.
Step 4: Roll and Slice
Fold in the sides of each tortilla then roll tightly from the bottom upward keeping the filling contained. Cut diagonally and serve immediately while the chicken is still hot.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- shredded cooked chicken → canned chicken for the fastest possible preparation
- ranch dressing → blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo wing flavor combination
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using too much buffalo sauce which makes the wrap too wet and causes the tortilla to tear
- Not warming the tortillas before rolling which makes them crack and split when folding
