Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dressing
- ½ cup ranch dressing
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the chicken.
- Prepare Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts, season them with salt and pepper, then thoroughly coat each breast with buffalo sauce to infuse flavor.
- Bake Chicken: Place the buffalo-coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, allow the chicken to cool slightly for easier shredding.
- Shred and Mix: Using two forks, shred the baked buffalo chicken finely and mix it well with the ranch dressing to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a large flour tortilla flat, then layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a generous amount of the buffalo chicken mixture. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles if using, then roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap.
- Serve: Serve the wraps warm immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- For extra heat, add additional buffalo sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper.
- Blue cheese crumbles are optional but add an authentic tangy flavor complementing the buffalo sauce.
- Leftover wraps can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven to keep the tortilla crispy.
