Tender buffalo chicken folded with crisp veggies and creamy layers, perfect for a quick satisfying meal.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast (approx. 8.8 oz)
02 - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (4 fl oz)
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Wraps & Dairy

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

→ Vegetables

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

→ Optional

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

# How to Make:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce and melted butter until evenly coated. Warm mixture in a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
02 - Lay a tortilla flat and make a single cut from the center to the edge, dividing it into a quarter section for folding.
03 - Visualize the tortilla divided into four quarters. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the first quarter. Place the buffalo chicken mixture on the second quarter. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on the third quarter. Arrange romaine lettuce, diced celery, tomato, and red onion on the fourth quarter.
04 - Drizzle ranch dressing over the vegetable quarter. Optionally, add crumbled blue cheese or extra buffalo sauce.
05 - Starting from the cream cheese quarter, fold the tortilla over itself quarter by quarter, forming a layered triangular wrap.
06 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the folded wrap seam-side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
07 - Repeat the layering and folding process with remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve wraps warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in about 25 minutes, so it feels like a victory on busy weeknights.
  • The contrast between creamy ranch, spicy buffalo, and crisp vegetables means every bite surprises your mouth.
  • It's the kind of wrap you can actually hold without it falling apart, thanks to the folding technique.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cream cheese quarter—it seems odd, but it's the thing that actually holds everything together and keeps the other fillings from sliding out during the fold.
  • If your vegetables are too wet, the wrap becomes a soggy mess; drain diced tomato and pat lettuce dry before assembly.
  • The seam-side-down method matters; it seals the wrap as it cooks and creates those golden, crispy edges that make you want seconds.
03 -
  • Prep your vegetables the night before and store them in separate containers; assembly becomes automatic and fast when everything is ready to go.
  • The wrap holds better if you let the cream cheese reach room temperature before spreading—it spreads thin and even without tearing the tortilla.
