Ingredients You’ll Need
Most of these are likely in your fridge. Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best crunch.
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
- 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced

- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
Step-by-Step Directions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the buffalo wing sauce and melted butter until fully combined.
- Add the cubed chicken breast to the sauce and toss until every piece is thoroughly coated.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15 seconds per side to improve flexibility.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface and distribute the shredded lettuce, celery, and carrots evenly across the center third of each.
- Place the buffalo chicken mixture on top of the vegetable layer.
- Drizzle the ranch dressing over the chicken and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles.
- Fold the left and right edges of the tortilla inward by 1 inch, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom to the top.

Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serve these wraps while the chicken is warm. The contrast with cold veggies is amazing. Pair it with extra ranch for dipping.
They are great for a summer picnic. Just wrap them tightly in foil. They travel incredibly well for outdoor fun.
Add a side of sweet potato fries. Or keep it light with fresh fruit. This is the ultimate flexible meal.
Keep It Fresh
Do not assemble these too early. The sauce can make tortillas soft. Store the components in separate containers.
The buffalo chicken stays fresh for three days. Keep it in an airtight container. Reheat it quickly before building your wrap.
Freshly shredded lettuce stays the crispiest. Avoid using pre-bagged lettuce if possible. It makes a huge difference in texture.
Tips for Best Results
- Dice your celery very small for crunch.
- Use a rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
- Never skip warming the flour tortillas.
- Use a high-quality buffalo wing sauce.
- Roll the wrap as tightly as possible.
- Slice on a diagonal for better presentation.

Quick Answers
Can I make this less spicy?
Yes, just use a mild buffalo sauce. You can also add more ranch dressing. This will cool down the heat significantly.
What is the best chicken to use?
Cooked chicken breast works perfectly here. Rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver. Even leftover grilled chicken tastes fantastic.
How do I keep it from falling apart?
Warming the tortilla is the key step. It makes the flour more stretchy. Tuck the ends in firmly while rolling.
