Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of Buffalo Chicken Wraps lies in their simplicity. Every ingredient brings something special—flavor, texture, or freshness—that makes each bite memorable. Here’s exactly what you’ll want to gather:

Cooked and shredded chicken breast: Perfect for soaking up every drop of that zesty buffalo sauce while keeping the wrap protein-packed and satisfying.
Buffalo wing sauce: The spicy, tangy heart of this dish; adjust the amount up or down for your ideal heat level.
Ranch or blue cheese dressing: Creamy, cooling, and absolutely essential for balancing out the spice—choose your favorite!
Shredded lettuce: Adds crispness and a fresh bite that pairs beautifully with the other fillings.
Shredded carrots: Bring color, crunch, and a hint of subtle sweetness to every wrap.
Diced celery: The classic partner to buffalo chicken, this adds a juicy, snappy crunch.
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional): For that extra melty indulgence—totally optional, but who can resist?
Large flour tortillas (10-inch): Soft and sturdy, they hold all your delicious fillings with ease and keep everything mess-free.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Toss the Chicken with Buffalo Sauce

Start by placing your shredded chicken in a medium bowl and drizzle it with that irresistible buffalo wing sauce. Stir well until every strand is coated in spicy, tangy goodness. If you like things extra saucy, feel free to add an extra splash—the wrap can handle it!

Step 2: Warm the Tortillas

Give your tortillas a quick warm-up, either in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side or in the microwave for a few seconds. This step makes them softer and more flexible, which means fewer cracks when you roll everything up.

Step 3: Dress the Center

Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Down the middle, spread about one tablespoon of ranch or blue cheese dressing—this is the creamy cooling layer that sets off the spicy chicken perfectly.

Step 4: Layer the Fillings

Add a generous pile of your buffalo chicken right over the dressing. Sprinkle with shredded lettuce, carrots, diced celery, and if you’re feeling indulgent, a handful of cheddar cheese. Every ingredient gets its moment to shine, building that signature Buffalo Chicken Wraps crunch and flavor.

Step 5: Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to encase all those hearty fillings. Slice in half for easy eating—or wrap them up in foil for an on-the-go meal you’ll look forward to all day.

How to Serve Buffalo Chicken Wraps

Garnishes

Add a pop of color and even more flavor with garnishes like chopped fresh parsley, a sprinkle of extra blue cheese crumbles, or a few thinly sliced green onions. A little drizzle of extra buffalo or ranch dressing over the top never hurts!

Side Dishes

Keep sides simple so Buffalo Chicken Wraps stay the star—serve with classic celery sticks, crisp oven-baked fries, or a fresh green salad. If you want an extra treat, homemade coleslaw brings a tangy crunch that pairs perfectly.

Creative Ways to Present

For appetizers or entertaining, try slicing each wrap into pinwheels and skewering with cocktail picks for easy party bites. Or, serve the Buffalo Chicken Wraps open-faced and let everyone customize their own toppings at the table—fun for a casual get-together or family dinner night!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers (though that’s rare in my house!), wrap each Buffalo Chicken Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They’ll still have great flavor and texture when you’re ready for a speedy lunch or snack.

Freezing

While freezing fully assembled wraps isn’t ideal for maximum freshness—especially with raw veggies—you can freeze just the buffalo chicken filling! Store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months, then thaw and assemble wraps with fresh vegetables when cravings strike.

Reheating

Enjoy these wraps cold for a refreshing lunch, or give them a quick warm-up! Unwrap any foil and microwave for 20–30 seconds just to take the chill off. If you prefer a warm, toasty wrap, pop it into a skillet over medium heat, turning once, until heated throughout.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken for Buffalo Chicken Wraps?

Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken is a shortcut I love—just shred it and it’s ready to soak up that buffalo sauce. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or spontaneous cravings.

Are there dairy-free options for the dressing and cheese?

Yes, you can easily swap in your favorite dairy-free ranch or blue cheese dressing, and omit the cheddar or use a dairy-free cheese alternative. The wraps are just as delicious and satisfying.

What tortillas work best for Buffalo Chicken Wraps?

Soft, large flour tortillas are ideal because they’re pliable and hold everything together. For a low-carb version, try lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas—both work deliciously.

How spicy will these wraps be?

The heat level depends entirely on your buffalo sauce and how much you use. If you like things milder, start with less sauce and add more ranch or blue cheese to balance the spice!

Can I make these wraps ahead for meal prep?

Definitely—Buffalo Chicken Wraps are a fantastic meal prep option. Assemble and wrap them tightly, then chill. For the freshest results, you might want to add the lettuce and raw veggies just before eating to keep them extra crisp.

Final Thoughts

If you’re searching for a meal that’s quick, crowd-pleasing, and loaded with bold, satisfying flavor, it’s time to give Buffalo Chicken Wraps a try. They’re the kind of recipe that shows how simple ingredients and big tastes can turn lunch or dinner into something special—and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with them, too!
