Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup Frank’s Buffalo Wings sauce
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Wrap and Fillings
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 cups romaine lettuce (or iceberg lettuce, chopped)
- ½ cup shredded carrot
- ½ medium red onion (cut into half moons)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Strips: Cut the chicken breasts into long, thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, buffalo sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Assemble the Wraps: While the chicken cooks, lay out the flour tortillas on a plate. Evenly distribute the chopped lettuce, ranch dressing, shredded carrots, red onion slices, and shredded cheddar cheese onto each tortilla.
- Add Chicken and Roll: Place a few cooked chicken strips down the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly, similar to a burrito, to enclose all the fillings securely.
- Serve: Serve the Buffalo Chicken Wraps immediately with extra hot sauce or ranch dressing on the side if desired. Enjoy this delicious and satisfying meal!
Notes
- Buffalo Chicken Wraps provide the classic spicy, tangy flavor of buffalo wings but in a lighter and easier-to-eat format.
- Marinating the chicken longer enhances the flavor, but even a short 10-minute marinade imparts great taste.
- Feel free to swap out romaine for iceberg lettuce or add other veggies like celery for extra crunch.
- Use gluten-free tortillas if you want to make this recipe gluten free.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your spice preference.
