Ingredients & Substitutions

Chicken Breasts: You’ll need about 3 cups of shredded chicken. You can cook your own chicken or save time by using a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. If using rotisserie chicken, skip the olive oil and seasonings.

Garlic Powder, Salt & Pepper: These simple seasonings add plenty of flavor to homemade shredded chicken. Leave them out if you’re using seasoned rotisserie chicken.

Olive Oil: Olive oil helps keep the chicken juicy while it cooks. Omit it when using rotisserie chicken.

Buffalo Sauce: Use your favorite buffalo wing sauce and choose the heat level you enjoy.

Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar is a classic choice with buffalo chicken, but blue cheese crumbles or pepper jack are great alternatives for a different flavor.

Burrito-Sized Tortillas: Large tortillas are ideal because they can hold all the fillings without tearing while you assemble the wrap.

Romaine Lettuce: Crisp romaine adds fresh flavor and a satisfying crunch that balances the spicy chicken.

Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese Dressing: The creamy dressing helps cool the heat from the buffalo sauce. Choose whichever you prefer.

Tomato, Green Onions & Cilantro: Fresh chopped vegetables add color, crunch, and a bright flavor to every bite.

How to Make A Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap

Step 1: Bake the Chicken: Season the chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place it in the oven and bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes, or until fully cooked. Allow it to cool slightly, then shred the chicken.

Step 2: Toss in Buffalo Sauce: Add the shredded chicken to a bowl and toss it with your desired amount of buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

Step 3: Assemble the Wrap: Lay a large tortilla flat and add the romaine lettuce, buffalo chicken, shredded cheese, tomato, green onions, cilantro, and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Step 4: Wrap It Up: Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in both sides. Roll the tortilla tightly upward, keeping the filling tucked inside. Slice in half and serve immediately.
