Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the protein by seasoning chicken breasts with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium temperature and cook chicken until golden brown and thoroughly cooked, approximately 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Transfer chicken to a resting surface and allow it to cool for several minutes.
- Using two forks, carefully pull and separate the chicken into tender, bite-sized shreds.
- Place shredded chicken in a mixing bowl and generously coat with buffalo sauce, stirring to ensure uniform distribution.
- Position tortillas on a clean, flat workspace and create a flavor foundation by spreading a layer of ranch or blue cheese dressing in the center.
- Distribute the saucy shredded chicken evenly across each tortilla.
- Add complementary textures and flavors by sprinkling crisp lettuce, sharp cheddar cheese, crunchy celery, and zesty red onion over the chicken.
- Expertly fold the sides of the tortillas inward, then roll tightly to encase the filling completely.
- Slice each wrap diagonally to create attractive halves and serve immediately while ingredients remain fresh and vibrant.
Notes
- Swap chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version that still packs a flavorful punch.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe celiac-friendly and accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Control spice levels by adjusting buffalo sauce quantity, mixing mild and hot sauces for personalized heat.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time for quick weeknight meals, storing shredded chicken and chopped veggies separately in airtight containers.
