Buffalo Chicken Wraps

This is a quick lunch idea that uses leftover chicken, and takes only 5 minutes to make. It’s my go-to when I want to change up the usual, and hit it home when it comes to taste.

There’s nothing better than my Easy Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe, a popular appetizer or snack that we make quite often.

If it’s one of your favourites as well, why not transform this delicious taste into an easy lunch idea to prep you for the upcoming school year.

Gone are the ordinary plain and soggy sandwiches, wraps are where it’s at.

The best part about making wraps (aside from the ease), is that you can easily change up the taste with little effort.

So make sure to put this delicious wrap and great chicken recipe in your rotation for back to school lunch ideas.

We all know back to school can be a difficult transition, yet one of my biggest tips is to utilize those leftovers.

By cooking one or two whole chickens (or more than needed chicken breasts) one night for dinner, you can easily have yummy leftovers that can be used for days of lunches or another easy dinner.

Ingredients to Make Buffalo Chicken Wraps

You’ll need the following simple ingredients to make easy buffalo chicken wraps. The full instructions for this shredded buffalo chicken wraps wraps recipe and printable recipe card are below.

• cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
• Franks Hot Buffalo Sauce or sweet buffalo sauce
• lettuce
• shredded cheese
• carrot
• ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
• large tortillas
• Optionals: thin slices of red onion, green onions

Note: If you don’t have already cooked chicken, that is actually the first thing to be done. To cook chicken quickly, I like to fry diced chicken on the stove. Use a large skillet and olive oil, and over medium-high heat.

Buffalo Chicken Wraps Tips and Variations:

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wraps

1. In a medium bowl, combine cooked chicken and add the Franks Hot Buffalo Sauce to make juicy buffalo chicken. Toss to evenly coat.
2. Lay out the tortillas and add to the center of each tortilla: the lettuce, cooked shredded chicken, shredded cheese, carrot and top with drizzled salad dressing of choice.
3. Fold and wrap the tortilla burrito-style and enjoy.

As you can see, this entire wrap recipe is totally customizable. From the type of cheese, tortillas, romaine lettuce pr other crunchy vegetables – make it how you want.

Make Spicy Buffalo Chicken Wraps

You can even add more or less Franks Buffalo Hot Sauce to suit your spice preference. I love the spicy flavors yet my kids like less than I, so this is a wrap that can be made to suit all tastes.

Make Healthier Buffalo Chicken Recipe

You could also omit the flour tortillas and wrap in large lettuce leaves to make buffalo chicken lettuce wraps. This is a low carb option for healthy buffalo chicken wraps aside from using low carb tortillas.

Sometimes we need the reminder that small swaps make all the difference in changing up a meal. A healthy way is sometimes in the little things.
