Why I Love this Buffalo Chicken Wraps Recipe?
I could put buffalo sauce on everything! The reason I am such a big fan of buffalo sauce is that it is a great balance of spice, acidity, and sauciness and also pairs so well with other flavors. It is great on chicken and veggies and pairs well with cheese and starches. This flexibility that buffalo sauce lends itself to also makes this recipe so adaptable. You can always switch out romaine for iceberg lettuce, cucumber for celery, or cheddar for jack cheese. The wrap will still be great, no matter what combinations you decide on.
Ranch vs. Blue Cheese: There is a lot of debate and personal preferences about which should be paired with buffalo chicken. I typically make mine with ranch because our kids prefer it over blue cheese. That being said, the recipe works great with either, and the two can be swapped out 1:1 in the recipe.
This buffalo chicken wrap recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken, and it is all wrapped up neatly in a tortilla. I get all that delicious buffalo chicken flavor in a much healthier and easier form.

Buffalo Chicken Wraps Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: First of all, slice chicken breast into several long, thin strips. Then, in a bowl, whisk together salt, olive oil, hot sauce, and other spice that you like. Mix all of that with the chicken and allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
The chicken breasts may seem to be spicy when you see the amount of hot sauce in the recipe, but they are pretty tame, especially with the dressing and veggies to cool them down. Although, remember that every ingredient should be to your taste. I always guide my readers to follow their tastes and preferences, as there is no recipe for everyone!
Step 2: Cook the chicken strips as you wish. I choose to arrange them into a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and let the meat cook for only 5 minutes.
Step 3: Meanwhile, place tortillas on a plate and spread with a thin layer of bleu cheese or ranch dressing. This step is not mandatory, as you can always serve your tortillas only with your chicken and some veggies. Layer with lettuce, carrots, avocado, and cheese.

Storage Tips
Refrigerator: Wraps made with crispy buffalo chicken leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Wrap each roll individually in foil after they have cooled, then place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Before reheating frozen leftovers in the microwave or oven, let them thaw in the refrigerator. Be sure to remove the foil before heating it in the oven. The chicken wraps in foil should be baked in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, or until well heated.
